Nandi at Basvanna Temple • At 27ft in length and 15ft in height, it is a colossal structure, reputedly India’s biggest monolithic Nandi. Its grand size and the perfectly proportioned body make it a popular photo-op with visitors. Can you imagine such a huge structure cut out of one single stone • 2. The Hanging pillar of Lepakshi Temple • There are about 70 pillars at this fabulous 16th-century temple of stone in Vijayanagar style, but this one is the best known and a tribute to the engineering genius of ancient and medieval India’s temple builders. • 3.

The incomplete Kalyan Mandapa • It is said the if this Kalyan Mantapa had been completed, Lord Shiva and Ma Parvati’s marriage would have happened here. It is said the if this Kalyan Mantapa had been completed, Lord Shiva and Ma Parvati’s marriage would have happened here. It’s construction was started by the then King’s accountant while the king himself was on a trip. When the King came back, he was utterly furious with the accountant for having spent the kingdom’s money on this construction without the King’s knowledge or approval. He immediately ordered the Kalyan Mandapa construction to be stopped. • 5. The eye on the wall in Lepakshi Temple • Right across the incomplete Kalyan Mandapa, one can witness a red mark in one of the walls . And this strongly resembles an eye.

The punishment was that his eye be popped out. • 6. Goddess Sita’s footprints • After crossing the Kalyan Mandapa, you will arrive at a huge footprint in the temple floor. This footprint is believed to be of Goddess Sita. Interestingly, this footprint is always wet. • 7. The Priest • The priest of Lepakshi temple is a wonder in himself. As you step inside the temple, he will greet you with a charming smile. And the first thing he will ask you is which language you know. Whichever language be your preference – hindi, english, tamil, telugu, kannada, Malayalam – he will interact with you in that language. • *********Support our Channel********* • Now listen to your favorite audio books while travelling.
