Descrizione
Discover the Veerabhadra Temple and the Adiyogi Shiva Statue on a private day trip from Bangalore. Explore the temple's intricate carvings, see the Hanging Pillar, and admire the monolithic Nandi.
Meet your private driver and English-speaking guide at your Bangalore hotel and begin the journey toward Lepakshi. The drive covers approximately 120 km one way and takes around 3–4 hours, passing through countryside landscapes and rural Karnataka.
Begin with a visit to the peaceful Isha Foundation Chikkaballapura. Admire the towering Adiyogi Shiva Statue, a striking symbol associated with yoga and inner transformation. Take time to experience the tranquil surroundings and explore the designated visitor areas at your own pace.
Continue to Lepakshi and explore the magnificent Veerabhadra Temple, one of the finest surviving examples of Vijayanagara-era temple architecture. Walk through its richly decorated halls and admire the remarkable stone craftsmanship.
Discover the Natya Mantapa, featuring elaborately carved pillars depicting dancers, musicians, and mythological subjects. Continue to the Kalyana Mantapa, an unfinished yet highly detailed structure that demonstrates the extraordinary skill of the temple's artisans.
See Lepakshi's celebrated Hanging Pillar, an unusual architectural feature that appears to stand slightly above the floor. Continue through the temple to admire colorful frescoes illustrating Hindu mythology and epic traditions, representing the artistic achievements of the Vijayanagara period.
Walk to the nearby monolithic Nandi statue, carved from a single block of granite. Admire this monumental sculpture and learn about its religious significance and artistic craftsmanship.
Take a break at a local restaurant for traditional South Indian cuisine (not included). After completing the sightseeing, begin the return journey to Bangalore. Relax during the scenic drive before arriving at your hotel.
