History & Significance

Lepakshi's Veerabhadra Temple was built in 1538 CE by Virupanna Nayaka, a governor under the Vijayanagara Empire. Legend says the name 'Lepakshi' derives from Lord Rama's words 'Le Pakshi' (rise, bird) to the wounded Jatayu bird from the Ramayana. The temple's unfinished Kalyana Mandapam and Virupanna's tragic story of self-blinding add to its mythological aura.
