The International Institute for Art, Culture and Democracy (IIACD) HOME

The IIACD team was on a documentation visit to the Veerabhadraswami Temple at Lepakshi in late August when the District Collector (Sri V. Durga Das IAS) and the local mla (Sri P Abdul Ghani from Hindupur) made a site visit. They were delighted to learn about the IDH project and shared with us that Lepakshi is on the short list for world heritage status from UNESCO. The DPRO from Kurnool (Sri Thimmiah) informed us that they were organizing the first Lepakshi Festival on September 8-9th 2012. They were keen that IIACD take a stall and make presentations about the DST IDH interest in Vijayanagara site at Lepakshi. iiacd, nias and nid collaborated to create an informative and lively IDH stall that proved to be a popular attraction at the festival with more than 1000 visitors and several engaging conversations.
