From Bangalore: Lepakshi Temple and Adiyogi Statue Day Trip｜India

Discover the cultural, architectural, and spiritual wonders of Lepakshi Temple, Lepakshi Bull, and the Adiyogi statue on a day trip from Bangalore. Admire the beautiful architecture of the 16th-century temple complex, see India's largest Nandi Bull statue, and visit the Adiyogi statue.

Meet your guide at your hotel in Bangalore and embark on a scenic 2-hour drive to Lepakshi Temple. Located in the Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh, this 16th-century temple complex is famous for its beautiful architecture.

Admire the Veerabhadra Temple, Natya Mantapa, Kalyana Mandapa, and the Hanging Pillar. The colossal Nandi Statue, crafted from a single granite block, is another highlight.

Within the same Lepakshi Temple complex, see the Nandi Bull statue, India's largest. Standing at 15 feet tall and 27 feet long, this impressive sculpture is carved from a single block of granite and is adorned with intricate jewelry designs, such as a kaasu malai (coin garland), bell chain, and earrings.

Next, visit the Adiyogi statue in Chikkaballapur, Karnataka. Unlike the Adiyogi statue in Tamil Nadu, this 112-foot statue of Lord Shiva is located near Chikkaballapur, close to Bangalore. It symbolizes the 112 possibilities of achieving spiritual growth (moksha) and the 112 chakras in the human system. The Yogeshwar Linga, consecrated at its base, adds to its spiritual significance.
