Lakkandi (anciently Lokkikandi)is about 8 m. S.E. of Gadag, andabout half that distance from Harla-pur station. The place is full ofancient temples. 1 Colonel M. Taylor says; It is im-possible to describe the exquisite finish ofthe pillars of the interior of this temple,which are of black hornblende, or to esti-mate how they were completed in theirpresent condition, unless they were turnedm a lathe ; yet there can be little doubt thatthey were set up originally as rough massesof rock, and afterwards carved into theirpresent forms. The carving on some of thepillars and of the lintels and architraves ofthe doors is quite beyond description. Nochased work in silver or gold could possibly befiner, and the patterns to this day are copiedby goldsmiths, who take casts and mouldsfrom them, but fail in representing the shaxp-ness and finish of the original.
