Harihara II builds Virupaksha Temple complex
1382
At Vijayanagara on the Tungabhadra, the king enlarged the ancient Virupaksha shrine with gopuram gateway towers and pillared mandapas that stretched along the riverside. The architectural idiom blended Pallava, Chalukya, and Hoysala precedents into a style that would define South Indian temple building for the next four hundred years.
