The Vittala temple is known for its intricate carvings in the pillars. Apart from this is the monolithic stone chariot in front of the temple and the musical pillars. 

Some of the inner pillars in the Mantapa contain figures of women dancers and drummers and beautiful multi-petal lotus carvings. This is one of the most ornate Vijaynagar temples built over a period of time.

Here tapping certain stone pillars produces hStone Chariot at the Vittala temple complexarmonics that can only be described as ethereal, and it's something that's quite impossible to imaging until you hear a tune being tapped out on a stone carving of a drum.

The stone chariot in this temple is very famous. Its stone wheels, each shaped in the form of a lotus, are capable of revolving. Temple chariots are often mobile reproductions of a temple. The stone chariot here is in turn a static version of the mobile temple chariot.
