The Maha Mantapa, which has been carved out of a giant monolithic pillar, is the highlight. The Famous Stone Chariot that has revolving wheels is another marvelous work of art as well as engineering. THe Wonderfull Temple is dedicated to Lord Vitthala or Lord Vishnu. Legend has it that Lord Vishnu found it too grand to live in and thus returned to his own humble home.
