Science and faith are two different things, but sometimes they collide and there is no explanation for it. The belief is sometimes backed up by scientific findings, but there are no clear lines here. There are times when we see something that has no scientific explanation. Mystery is the only thing that defines them.

One such structure that has fascinated people since time immemorial is the mysterious Vittala Temple in Hampi and its musical pillars. Known as the epicenter of Hampi’s attraction, this temple is actually a masterpiece in terms of grandeur and architecture. The words will fall short to explain the beauty of this place. The extensive enclosure of this temple houses pavilions, aisles and many other temples.

While all these structures surprise us with their architecture and extensive complex, some also surprise us with their mysterious nature. There are places in India that defy all scientific laws and exist only for some divine mystery or something else. While some believe these are just myths, others think otherwise. In that sense, we have more information about the musical pillars of the Vittala Temple.

The temple was built in the fifteenth century during the reign of Devaraya II. He was one of the rulers of the Vijayanagara Empire. The temple is dedicated to Vittala and is also called Vijaya Vittala Temple; Vittala is also said to be an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. According to legends, the temple was built for Lord Vishnu in his Vittala form, but when he discovered that the temple was very large by nature, he returned to live in his modest home in Pandharpur.

The Vittala Temple is one of the most magnificent and grandiose in Hampi. When you enter the resort, the first thing that will surprise you will be the craftsmanship of the artisans of the Vijayanagara Empire. The Dravidian style adorns the construction of the complex, which is further enhanced with elaborate carvings.

The great Ranga Mantapa is known for its 56 musical pillars, also known as SaReGaMa pillars. These have been attributed to the musical notes that emerge from them. In fact, you can hear the musical notes if you gently hit the pillars. There is a set of main pillars and many smaller ones in the mantapa. Each pillar offers support to the mantapa roof, while the main pillars are designed in the style of musical instruments. Each main pillar is wrapped with seven minor pillars, which emit the musical notes. Each note that is emitted from these pillars produces different sounds, which also change as the string, percussion, and wind instrument are played. If the pillars are hit by sandalics, they release rhythmic sounds near SaReGaMa.
