Chippagiri is a village in the Chippagiri mandal in the Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh, India.[2]
History[edit]
The Chippagiri village was previously named Bhaskara Shrine because a sage named Bhaskara Muni was known to have carried out prayers on the hill.[citation needed]
It is believed that the shrine was moved to Hampi due to severe water problems and the shrine was renamed from Shilpagiri to Chippagiri (also known as Andhra Hampi). The temples of Virupaksheswara and Chennekeswara were first built in Chippagiri.
Many sculptures can be found in Chippagiri's temples. In the earlier days, there were 101 wells and 101 statues of Lord Shiva (linga).
The people from Hindu and Muslim religions maintained good relationships without any conflicts. They all mixed together and participated in the festivals of both their religions and they implemented freedom of religion.
