Visited the 15th century Lepakshi Veerabhadra Swamy temple.
Temple has history from 1424 onwards but the main inscription dates to 1531 AD.

We must appreciate the efforts that would have gone into sculpting granite instead of any soft sandstone or marble in this temple.
There are also paintings on the ceiling of the temple which have survived till now

Pictures are not allowed to be taken inside the sanctum of temple, so I took them in only the outer part.
Wikipedia and others have far better pictures.

View from outside

Tumbura

This hamsa is seen as a symbol at many places

Octagonal Pillars (at the base)

It was interesting to see these big pillars (almost like a triangular shape) with a different sculpture on each side.

Notice how the dance step progression is depicted with 3 legs

Thats all for now.

Ya'll Nibbiars The Rs. 100 crore Jagannath Temple being built by West Bengal government at Digha is expected to complete by 2023. It will resemble the centuries-old Jagannath Temple in Odisha’s Puri.

All hail Lord Shri Hanuman, the epitome of devout worship, faithfulness, and inner strength. May each of us Hindus be imbibed with the warrior spirit and devoutness of Lord Shri Hanuman.
