Thousand Pillar Temple in IndiaTours | Hotels | Temples In South India

A Specimen Of Kakatiya Architecture 4-km from Hanumakonda crossroad in Warangal district will be the Thousand Pillar Temple, a very good specimen of 'Kakatiya' architecture and sculpture. It really is the primary attraction of Hanamkonda. The temple was built by 'Rudra Devi' in 1163 AD.

The temple is in form of a star and has 3 shrines devoted to Lord Shiva, Vishnu and Surya. The temple is built on the 1m large platform on the slopes of the Hanumakonda hill, and includes a majestic monolithic Nandi. The black basalt Nandi, a monolith, features a lovely polished finish.

There are actually a lot of small lingam shrines bordering the gardens. The temple is famous for its richly carved pillars, screens and detailed sculpture. The ambiance is relaxed and serene using the sonorous ringing in the puja bells, mild chirping of the birds along with the soothing neat breeze.
