Lepakshi-A blend of History and Architecture
It was the month of October 2015 ,when my son has winter holidays and we were planning for a trip to a nearby place on a weekday as weekends will be having a lot of rush in heritage sites.The choice to be made was between the Tipu Palace in Bangalore and the place called Lepakshi where i have heard the stories are written on the stones and pillars build in the Veerabhadra Swamy temple.Finally we decided for Lepakshi. The place is around 130 kms from Bangalore and we started the journey on an early morning,so that we reach the place in around 2 hrs time.The approach road towards this place is having tolls and the road is good also,perfect for a road trip. We reached the place at around 11.00 am.This place,Lepakshi, is a small village near Anantpur. This place is built on a low rocky hill called "Kurma Sailam" (meaning tortoise hill in Telugu). History As the history of the place goes this place is famous for the Veerabhadra Swamy temple.This temple was built way back i
