The main temple where worship is performed daily and is in good condition is the Virupaksha temple.

Son-in-law krishandevaraya (Aliyadynasty RamaRaja) was powerful, but served unde the tuluva dynasty sadashiva during 1571 to 1646. son-in-law of krishnadevaraya ie. Ramaraja was killed in the battle of Rakkasa Tangadi and Vijayanagaram was destroyed and the capital was shifted to Penugonda near Puttaparthi. I visited Penugonda another time during my 3 day visit to Puttaparthi for Srirama Navami celebrations.
