Sri Krishnadevaraya samadhi, ಶ್ರೀ ಕೃಷ್ಣದೇವರಾಯ ಸಮಾಧಿ, Anegundi, ಆನೆಗುಂಡಿ, Koppala district, Hampi tourism UNESCO world Heritage site Karnataka Bellary Tourism, Karnataka tourism, temples of Karnataka, ancient temples India, ancient Indian Architecture.There is a lot of belief that the 64 pillar structure located on the banks of the Tungabhadra in Anegundi, a village about 15 km away from Hampi and which was the first capital of the Vijayanagara Empire and also believed to have been the ancient kingdom of Kishkindha during the time of Ramayana. The 64 pillars represent the 64 arts and skills that the emperor of Krishnadevaraya apparently possessed or displayed.

This Krishnadevaraya Tomb is located right at the starting point from where you have to proceed to the Nava Brindavana which is like an island surrounded by the Tungabhadra and you’ll have to take a boat to get there. Nava Brindavana as the name suggests consists of 9 brindavanas, where brindavana is the term used to refer to the tomb of Madhwa saints.

So this 64 pillar structure or mantapa is believed to be the tomb of Krishnadevaraya. But there is no inscription on the structure and there is no concrete evidence that this indeed is the tomb of Krishnadevaraya and not many people in the Anegundi village also refer to this as Krishnadevaraya’s tomb.Historians are still in a state of conflict over the grave of Vijayanagara emperor Sri Krishnadevaraya, who reigned from 1509 to 1530 as the third ruler of the Tuluva dynasty. There are no clear inscriptions about the emperor and his chief minister Thimmarasu’s graves, and only belief by the locals.

People believe the grave is situated in a mantap built in middle of Tunga-bhadra River at Anegundi that has a fort with many gates, a Durga temple and tombs near the fort entrance.Vijayanagar kings used to pray before every battle at the Durga temple, then they would visit Pampa Sarovar and Shri Laxmi temple.While Krishnadevaraya’s rajguru Saint Vyasaraja Swami, and his predecessors and successors have well-marked tombs a few metres away from the location, the king’s tomb eludes clarity. Locals believe that the 60-pillar mantap is the king's tomb.
