AP: Vontimitta Kodandarama Temple in Kadapa – A treasure trove of wonderful sculpture

Vontimitta (Kadapa), March 11(UNI) The Sri Kodandarama Swamy Temple located at Vontimitta in Kadapa district, is well known for its wonderful stone sculptures. The carvings in this temple reflect the rich artistic style of the 'Vijayanagara Empire' period.
The Yali pillars in the Ranga Mandapam especially attract devotees and visitors. The way huge stone blocks were shaped into Yali pillars shows the remarkable skill of the ancient sculptors.
Yali pillars are seen in many temples built during the Rayal dynasty. However, in the Vontimitta temple each pillar has a hollow space in the middle where a person can sit, which is a unique feature.
