Lepakshi Temple & Adiyogi Statue Day Trip from Bangalore｜India

Escape the city chaos and dive into a day of culture, history, and spiritual bliss with a perfect one-day trip from Bangalore to Lepakshi Temple and the Adiyogi Shiva Statue in Chikkaballapur. This road trip offers a unique blend of ancient architecture, mythological tales, and modern spiritual energy, all within a comfortable drive from Bangalore.

Start your morning early and drive towards Lepakshi, a historical town in Andhra Pradesh, known for the stunning Veerabhadra Temple built in the 16th century by the Vijayanagara rulers. Marvel at the famous hanging pillar, the beautifully carved ceilings, and the monolithic Nandi—one of the largest in India. The temple is also steeped in legend, said to be the spot where Jatayu fell during the Ramayana battle.

After exploring Lepakshi’s spiritual and architectural marvels, head towards Chikkaballapur to visit the magnificent Adiyogi Shiva Statue, part of the Isha Foundation. Set against the serene backdrop of Nandi Hills, the 112-ft tall statue offers a tranquil space for meditation and self-reflection. Take part in a guided meditation session or simply soak in the energy of this powerful symbol of yogic science.
