Lepakshi Travel Guide

Lepakshi is a small historic town in southern Andhra Pradesh, about 120 kms from Bangalore. On the way to Hyderabad from Bangalore, you have to take a de-tour of about 16kms on the left to reach Lepakshi. The entrance of the city has a huge Nandi statue in a small park. From here if you walk about 200mts , you reach an old temple, built in a typical medival era architecture. It is Shiva temple with a huge Shivalinga coiled with Naga, in the open space. The pillars are all well carved and the temple has multiple shivalingas and pooja is still performed here. The temple compound is also huge. The place gives the feeling that the meditations have been performed there for centuries and you can feel the power of the same.
