The conservation of the Chandramauleshwar temple is the first pilot project involving a national and an international NGO working in tandem with the Government of Karnataka for the conservation of a State Monument, thus making it a pioneering public private initiative for the conservation of a monument in the Hampi UNESCO World Heritage Site. The project has been undertaken through a Memorandum of Understanding signed between the Government of Karnataka and the Hampi Foundation (a non government organisation committed to the conservation of Hampi) in 2006. This project has seen a unique partnership between the state government and a local NGO, supported by the Global Heritage Fund and corporate funding from the JSW group. This 8.18 acre site on the bank of the mighty river Tungabhadra, consists of two stone embankment walls, one lower and the other upper which support the platform on which the temple sits. The temple proper covers an area of 276 square meters, while the lower embankment of blocks of hewn granite stones covers a length of 125 meters on the east side and the 40 meters on the south side. The Upper embankment measured 42 meters on the east side, with the remaining part having entirely collapsed and most of its stones having been scavenged and carried away for later construction. The temple was linked to the Vithala Temple across the river by an ancient stone bridge that collapsed, its stone pillars still extant. This ancient stone bridge that used to connect the historic cities of Hampi and Anegundi lines up to the eastern embankment of the temple, giving a sense of its significance in the larger urban context of Vijayanagara.
