Chippagiri

Chippagiri is a mandal located in the Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh, India.

The Chippagiri village was previously named Bhaskara Shrine because a sage named Bhaskara Muni was known to have carried out prayers on the hill.

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).

Bhogeswara, the Hindu temple, was visited by Vijayanagara Empire emperor Krishnadevaraya.

The legend says that while he stayed overnight in the village, Anjaneya came into his dreams and said to build temples in the area.
