Location
The capital of Kakatiya rulers before they moved to Warangal is just 3 kms away from the city. A magnificent Thousand-pillard temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, was erected here by the first Kakatiya King Rudradeva in 1163 AD. The temple is notable for its richly carved pillars, preformatted screens and exquisite icons, especially impressive are the rock cut elephants and the Nandi.
