Summary

Description
English: The temple belonged to the Kakatiya era and stands testimony to the architectural craftsmanship displayed by the Kakatiya rulers. It houses beautifully carved pillars and walls where each intricate sculpture is poetry in stone. Beautiful paintings are also found to adorn the walls of the temple. A grand and regal Nandi bull is seen gracing its portals. The detailing in the architecture is an indication of the touch of excellence that the craftsmen of the Kakatiya period have been able to impart to Telangana art and culture. In one of the paintings, angels and demons were seen churning the Ksheerasagaram making Vasuki, the serpent, as the rope. The first part of the second picture, depicted war, soldiers of the 15th century. One of the soldiers was a Muslim. In the second part, the war between Lord Rama and demon king Ravana is depicted. On the second beam, the images were made obscure because a tube light was fitted to it. In fact, temples of Telangana at many places featured such murals. In Bhongir, murals from the Ramayana were featured in Ramalingeswara temple at Brahmanavada. There are many coloured images at the Ram temple in Rachakonda. One can view the murals found in Alladurgam in the State Museum at the Public Gardens in Hyderabad. Also, Bheema’s fighting wielding the mace can be seen in the Gontemma Guha (Kunti Cave) at Pandavula Gutta, which is renowned for its murals drawn in red colour.
