Veerabhadra Temple, Hindu temple in Lepakshi, India.
The Veerabhadra Temple features three main sections including a sanctum sanctorum, containing detailed sculptures and paintings on every visible surface.
Construction began around 1530 under the supervision of Virupanna and Viranna, two governors serving during King Achyuta Deva Raya's Vijayanagara Empire.
The temple walls display numerous frescoes depicting scenes from the Ramayana, Mahabharata, and Puranas, using mineral and vegetable colors on plaster.
The temple stands on Kurma Saila hillock, with parking available for visitors who must follow modest dress requirements when entering the premises.
A notable engineering feature includes a hanging pillar that allows cloth to pass underneath its base due to its specific structural design.
