"Le pakshi said Lord Rama to Jatayu,the bird asking it to get up,"says the guide a bit dramatically narrating the episode from Ramayana.
"Ravana had chopped off its wings and Lord Ramana found the bird fallen right here in this village.
That's why its called Lepakshi. Lepakshi is culturally and archaeologically significant as it is the location of shrines dedicated to Shiva, Vishnu and Veerabhadra
which were built during the Vijayanagara Kings' period (1336–1646).
The temples are the location of mural paintings of the Vijayanagara kings and Kannada inscriptions.
Near the temple complex is a large granite Nandi bull. On a hillock known as Kurma Saila, "tortoise shaped hill", are other temples to Papanatheswara, Raghunatha, Srirama, and Durga.
Lepakshi is also famous for puppet show based on Hindu mythology.There is also a Three headed bull with single body carved on the pillar of main entrance pillar. (Wikipedia)
