I was there with a friend and colleague from work. We took a day off to visit Lepakshi from Bangalore. The organization was perfect, Vignesh (an exceptional guide) explained the history of Lepakshi main temple with great detail. We were amazed both by the beauty of the temple and the kindness of the guide. I am still thinking of the floating pillar! I strongly recommend the visit with 5 senses tour
