Lepakshi temple
Lepakshi temple, Andhra Pradesh : Lepakshi is a treasure trove for historians and Inidan art connoisseurs. The temple on the hillock of Kurmasaila is 15 km from Hindupur railway station (Bangalore line). The temple has three shrines dedicated to Shiva, Vishnu and Virabhadra. A monolithic Nagalinga, the largest of its kind in India and Ganesha in the
second interior court attract visitors with their absolute magnitude and perfection.
The temple's interior has intricately carved sculptures on each of the granite pillars, which depict drummers, dancers and divine musicians. Artistically, this temple is known for its paintings. A wonderful granite bull of gigantic dimensions (largest in South India) placed at a short distance from the temple's enclosure is one of the tourist attractions.
