This article has been extracted from

THE IMPERIAL GAZETTEER OF INDIA , 1908.

OXFORD, AT THE CLARENDON PRESS.

Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value.


Lakkundi

Place of antiquarian interest in the Gadag taluka of Dharwar District, Bombay, situated in 15"^ 23' N. and 75° 43' E., 7 miles south-east of Gadag town. Population (1901), 4,454. It contains fifty temples and thirty-five inscriptions. The temples are ascribed to Jakhanacharya. They suffered severely in the Chola invasion about 1070, but were afterwards rebuilt. The finest and most remarkable is the temple of Kashivishveshwar. There are numerous step-wells. Of the thirty-five inscriptions, the earliest deciphered is dated a.d. 868. In 1192 the Hoysala king Ballala II, better known as Vira Ballala (i 192-12 11), established his capital at Lakkundi, then styled Lokkigundi, and in the vicinity met and defeated the forces of the Deogiri Yadava Bhillam, commanded by the latter's son Jaitugi. Lakkundi contains a school.
