My Trip To Lepakshi

My family and I went to a mysterious place in Andra Pradesh called Lepakshi. It is a village located in Anantapur District, approximately 120 km north of Bengaluru. We traveled in a van, and it took us an hour and a half. When we completed our journey, It was spectacular and amazing. It was a great architecture and a marvel. The mysterious thing is in the middle of a temple, and there was a flying pillar. It was constructed from top to bottom. The temple was called the 'Veerabhadra temple' in Lepakshi.

When we went into the temple, there was a huge shiva linga statue and huge plates graved on rocks. Outside the temple, far away, again, there was a huge Nandi directly pointing the Shiv Linga in the temple. If you climb up the Nandi and see between it's ears, you can see the Shiv Linga. Thetemple dated back to 1583 and was built by the brothers, Virupanna and Veeranna, who were initially in the Vijayanagar kings' service. However, Puranic lore has it that the sage Agastya built the Veerabhadra temple. It has idols of Ganesha, Nandi, Veerabhadra, Shiva, Bhadrakali, Vishnu, and Lakshmi.

We ate some kattcha mango with salt and spice powder, and it was yummy! According to the Valmiki's Ramayana, Ram, accompanied by Hanuman, met the dying Jatayu here and helped him to attain moksha by uttering the words "Le Pakshi" ("Rise bird" in Telugu). Hence the name,Lepakshi.

The Veerabhadra temple located in Lepakshi is one of the top mysteries in the world. This temple is dedicated to the cult deity Veerabhadra. The Lepakshi Temple has 3 shrines, which are dedicated to Lord Shiva, Vishnu, and Veerabhadra. The Lepakshi Temple Timings is from 05:00 am to 12:30 and from 4:00 to 8:30 p.m.
