Subbu Temple Series - 10

Vitthala Temple, Pandharpur

It is the main centre of worship for Vithoba, a form of Vishnu or Krishna, and his consort Rakhumai. The temple was built by King Bittideva of Hoysala Empire between 1108–1152 CE upon being convinced by Pundalik

1/9
Vitthala is known by many names, Vithoba, Panduranga, Pandharinath, Hari,Narayan

Vitthala is composed of two Sanskrit-Marathi words: viṭ, means 'brick'; and thal, which may have originated from sthala, meaning 'standing'

Thus, Vitthala would mean 'one standing on a brick

2/9
Historiography

The name Panduranga is found on a Rashtrakuta copper plate inscription, dated 516. Hence we can infer that Vithoba worship was well established by the 6th century

The Pandurangashtakam stotra, a hymn attributed to Adi Shankaracharya also indicates the same
