In 1992, Ekkundi was awarded the Sahitya Akademi and the Karnataka Sahitya Akademi awards for his outstanding poetical work Bakulada Hoovugalu in Kannada. His poem Ladhak Irali Nepa Irali which was written during the Second Indo-China war was well received. His political sympathies were with the Communist party. After his retirement, he was given a national award for teaching. He was the author of many works of poetry and short stories.[1] His work is described by an entry in the Encyclopaedia of Indian Literature[2] Besides politics, his poetry deals primarily with traditional Indian mythological and religious themes. His Ubhaya Bharati concerns the famous debate between the Hindu philosophers Adi Shankara and Mandana Mishra.
