Lakkuṇḍi, or Lokkiguṇḍi as it was called in olden times, now a small village, lies about seven miles to the south-east of Gadag in the Dhārwār district. It is full of the ruins of old temples, many of which, with the addition of mud walls, have been converted to other use than that of worship. It will be remembered that Ballaḷa II., Hoysaḷa, established himself in A.D. 1191 at Lokkiguṇḍi as his headquarters. It must then have been a place of considerable importance.
