Lakkundi is a village in Gadag district, Karnataka, India, that was a prosperous town and mint under the Western Chalukyas and the Hoysalas in the 11th and 12th centuries. It holds dozens of temples and stepped wells in the ornate later Chalukya style, among them the Brahma Jinalaya, a Jain temple endowed by the noblewoman Attimabbe, and the Kasivishveshvara temple.
