Vīrabhadra (Sanskrit: वीरभद्र, lit. distinguished hero), also known as Veerabathira,Veerabathiran,Veeraputhiran is a fearsome form of the Hindu god Shiva. He was created by the wrath of Shiva and destroyed the Yagna (fire sacrifice) of Daksha, after Daksha's daughter and Shiva's consort Sati self-immolated in the sacrificial fire. He is described as a warrior who eventually blinded Bhaga, subdued Indra and broke, among many other countless gods, Pushan's teeth. Other gods fled the battlefield unable to sustain his power.

Sati was the youngest daughter of Daksha. While growing up, she set her heart on Shiva and worshipped him. In the Swayamvara of Sati, Daksha invited all the devas and princes except Shiva. Sati cast her garland into air, calling upon Shiva to receive it, and behold he stood in the midst of the court with the garland about his neck. Daksha had no choice but to get his daughter married to Shiva.

One day, Daksha invited all the devas in order to perform a great horse sacrifice called the Ashwamegh yagna, omitting only Shiva. Sati's urge to attend the event, due to her affection towards her parents, overpowered the social etiquette of not going to an uninvited ceremony; thus, Daksha insulted her in front of his guests. Angered after hearing insults against her husband, she set herself ablaze by her inner yogāgni. The site where Sati had died later on became known as "Jwalamukhi devi".

When Shiva came to know about what had happened, with deep sorrow and anger, he plucked a lock from his hair and thrashed it on the ground. Both Veerabhadra and Rudrakali were born from it. The former is believed to be the destroyer of Agnana: born with a tall, muscular body reaching the higher heavens, he was as dark as the stormy clouds, with three burning eyes and fiery hair. He also wore a garland of skullsand carried terrible weapons. To provide him the power, arrived Bhadrakali, a wrathful incarnation of Devi.

Surely visit one of the most old and unique good temple in whole India constructed by Royal king.

We visit this place once a year, usually between Feb or March. One of the oldest temples of Sri veerabhadreshwara swamy. The temple closes at 12-30 in the noon and again opens at 4pm. So if you are traveling from far off places ensure you start early and reach before 12-30 else you'll end up waiting till 4 in the evening. Anna dasoha is available daily.
I travel from bangalore and it's a usual journey of 5 hours including a stop for breakfast. New roads are being laid and once it's ready the travelling time should reduce.

Very good temple. But way to temple is very congested and parking for vehicles is very less.
All the roads leading to temple are either occupied by shops or parking of vehicles.

Department needs to remove all the encroachments and clear the way.

One of the oldest temple which was constructed Hundreds of years

...but infront of this some advancement should be done .... because it's a holly place for many people's but infront of this it's like worst feel .....if any one can make it happen please do it ....it will be very helpful.....

It's a holy place of Sri Veerabhadra Swamy. A devotee of Veerabhadra should definitely visit this place. This place has power, peace and Devotion.

From Blore you need atleast 5+ hours due to single roads and some part of the road is under construction . Better to take Chittoor route . (We went via Devanhalli VIJAYAPUR )
