Earlier it was stated that the temple has 56
musical pillars, but now there are simply nine musical pillars which are well-designed
and generatemelodic, feet-tapping tunes.
The musical pillars of Vithala temple in Hampi produce melodious and
feet-tapping tunes.
The rock-solid stone pillars produce clear
sound, when smacked with a finger. Efficientexaminations on the sound
characteristics of the musical pillars of Mahamandapam (great stage) of the
Vitthala Temple have been conceded.
The 11 most well-liked pillars that create
sounds of exact musical instruments werestudied for the inquiries. Amazingly, these pillars are rock solid, not
hollow as they would appear. A huge rock
was exercised to create the main pillar and the sub pillars were across the
main pillar. So ultimately, the sub pillars are engraved in special length and
width to make the differences in sound.
The sound formed from these 11 most admired
musical pillars was recorded methodically and different nondestructive testing systems
such as low frequency ultrasonic testing, impact echo testing, and in situ
metallography were engaged on the musical piers of these pillars.
The peak occurrences in the amplitude scale of
the sound produced from differentpillars in these columns are connected with
the dimensional measurements and ultrasonic velocity determined using impact
echo technique.
The peak frequencies gained experimentally have
been found to have outstanding correlation with the computed flexural
frequencies centered on the dimensional capacities and ultrasonic speeds of the
columns. This displays the talent of the
Stone Mason who could distinguish the sound probability whilst cutting the
stone to preferred sizes and shapes to give distinctiveechoes.
