Ekhamukhalinga @ Cave 4 - Veena Cave

You will notice that the shiva style of carving is quite different from other carvings at Udhayagiri. The exceptional,almost feminine beauty of the face with seven strands of hair falling on both sides of the face.
The arrangement of the hair depicts the story of
how lord shiva broke the fall of the river Ganga as the waters came down from heaven.

Temple History

This temple was constructed by King Harihara Bukka Raya of the Sangama Dynasty of the Vijayanagara Empire in the 15th century. It was built according to Vaishnavaite traditions.

Growing Nandhi

The devotees believe that the Nandi idol in front of the temple is continuously increasing its size. The locals say that the idol was initially much smaller than its present size. They say that certain experimentation was carried out on this idol and it was said that the type of rock out of which the idol is carved has a growing or enlarging nature associated with it.

Archaeological Survey of India has confirmed that the idol increases by 1 inch in every 20 years. Experiment suggests that the rock used to make the idol exhibits a growing nature.

It is said that people used to do Pradakshinas (rounds) around it in the past. The temple staff has already removed one pillar as the size of the Nandi has increased.
