Lepakshi (Telugu: లేపాక్షి)(Kannada: ಲೇಪಾಕ್ಷಿ) is a small village and Mandal with its headquarters located in the Anantapur District, in Andhra Pradesh, India. It is 15 km (9.3 mi) east of Hindupur and about 120 km (75 mi) north of Bangalore. Lepakshi is historically and archaeologically significant with three shrines dedicated to Shiva, Vishnu and Veerabhadra.
These shrines were build during Vijayanagara Kings' period. One of the
attractions in Lepakshi is a huge Nandi bull made of a single granite
stone. The place is also known for mural paintings of the Vijayanagar
Kings. Many old Kannada inscriptions dating back centuries can also be seen on its walls. Legend has it that the Naga of the Nagalinga was carved out of a single stone by sculptors while they waited for their mothers to prepare lunch.
