This is a Shiva temple, located in the city of lepakshi. Falls under the state Andhra Pradesh. Veerbhadra was an incarnation of lord shiva and the temple was built in 16th century under the rule of vijayanagara empire. There is an open nandi temple just 200 metres outside the main temple. The face of the nandi is facing towards the temple and the whole nandi sculpture is made of a single stone or monolithic rock. The place is almost 100 kms away from Bangalore and rakes around 2 hours to reach this place. We started around 2 pm from Bangalore, so that we reach here early evening can enjoy a nice sunset before heading back again. There is no entry fees for the temple. But you need to keep your footwear outside, so better keep it in your vehicle since the parking is just next to the temple. The place if full of ancient stories which is depicted using the stone carving all across the temple. The main temple gets closed by 6pm for the visitors, hence plan accordingly. There are multiple food and tea stalls just outside the temple, so you have plenty of options to choose from. The temple is very huge from inside and lot of walking is required from starting till the end. Hence, manage accordingly. There is a single pillar which looks like it's standing without any support from ground and it's marvellous.
