Introduction to the Lingayats

By popular request, we are compiling this new area  bringing together in one place, many rare photographs, illustrations and research papers on the Veerashaiva (a.k.a. Lingayats) Community of India. These include pictures from "Basava Purana", obscure Veerashaiva temples, important leaders and common people.

Promise Literature
The Vachana literature of Veerashaiva saints is full of beauty and inspiration.
Dalit Saint Peddi
Biography of medieval Veerashaiva saint Urilinga Peddi and why his kind is rare in the caste ridden Indian society.
