A map of major historic sites in Telangana, dated between 300 BCE and 18th-century CE

Summary edit

Description
English: Telangana is a southern state of India, marked by its Deccan (Dakhin) terrain. The state is home to monuments that span over 2000 years of Indian history related to ancient and medieval era Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism. Additionally, the state hosts relatively more recent monuments related to Islam with Persian influences.

The pre-15th century Telangana monuments are predominantly Hindu from the 5th century to the 14th century. These represent a fusion of arts and architectures from the north, south, east and west India, as well as architectural styles and Kakatiya dynasty innovations unique to Telangana. Of these, the monuments near the Srisailam dam reservoir in the south Telangana such as those in Alampur attract much pilgrimage and reverence by regional Hindus, as well as been a subject of comparative studies by scholars. Many of these sites are in ruins and were mutilated after the 13th century. In addition to the ruins of Hindu monuments, ruins of major important Jain and Buddhist sites and artwork are also found in Telangana.

A list of major pre-14th century sites pinned in this map are listed below. The GPS coordinates are based on actual field surveys and visits since 2016. This list is not exhaustive.
