Badavilinga, Hampi. 🙏🙏
The Badavilinga Temple has the largest monolithic Shiva Linga in Hampi.
The Shiva Linga has a three eye mark drawn on it in line carving, depicts the three eyes of Bhagwan Shiva.
At a height of 10 feet the beautiful Linga is made of black stone. It is believed that the Temple has been in existence since the period of the Vijayanagara Empire.
The name Badavilinga is a combination of two words – Badva and Linga. In the local language Badva means poor and Linga represents Shiva. Legend has it that the Shiva Linga placed inside the Temple was commissioned by a poverty-stricken peasant woman.
