Veerabhadra Temple
The 16th-century Vijayanagara temple at Lepakshi, famed for its ceiling paintings and a giant monolithic Nandi.
The Narasimha Swamy Temple is at Seebi (Sibi) in the Tumakuru district of Karnataka, on the national highway about 20 km north of Tumakuru city. Its legend, recorded by the historian and epigraphist B. Lewis Rice, tells of a grain merchant who halted here with his bullocks. When grain was boiled on a rock at the spot it turned blood red and the party fell unconscious; the god Narasimha then appeared to the merchant in a dream and revealed that the rock was his abode, and a temple was raised there.
