Lepakshi

Time: May 18th, 2025

Place: Lepakshi 

Company: Wife and daughter

Highlights: While researching about Lepakshi, came across this beautifully chronicled article: https://revolvingcompass.com/lepakshi-temple/. This is a must-read before coming to Lepakshi. We almost missed out on the hanging pillar, and saw it only because someone asked where it was!

Our itinerary was similar to the article, except we left a bit late, had nice brunch at Nandi restaurant on the Highway after airport exit. Reached Lepakshi at about 1 pm. Spent the next 3-4 hours visiting all that Lepakshi had to offer (refer the above link), and headed back home. 

A simple one-day outing which combines a good drive, bit of a trek/climb and divinity. Definitely a must-see place.
