Lepakshi Temple, dedicated primarily to Lord Veerabhadra, is a remarkable example of Vijayanagara architecture, located in present-day Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh. The temple was built in the 16th century (around 1530 CE) during the reign of Achyuta Deva Raya, a ruler of the Vijayanagara Empire. According to historical records, the temple was commissioned by Virupanna Nayaka and Viranna Nayaka, two brothers who served as governors under the Vijayanagara kings. The temple is famed for its exquisite stone carvings, murals, monolithic pillars, and sculptures, reflecting the artistic zenith of the Vijayanagara period.

Lepakshi is deeply rooted in Ramayana legends. It is believed that Jatayu, the divine bird who tried to rescue Sita from Ravana, fell wounded at this site. Moved by compassion, Lord Rama is said to have uttered “Le Pakshi” (Rise, O Bird)—from which the name Lepakshi is derived. One of the temple’s most iconic features is the hanging pillar, which barely touches the ground and showcases the architectural brilliance of the era. The complex also houses a massive monolithic Nandi statue, one of the largest in India, carved from a single granite block.
