Summary
[edit]Description13th century Nandi mandapa, Ramappa temples complex, Palampet Telangana India - 13.jpg |
English: The Ramappa temples complex is located about 65 kilometers northeast of Warangal (NH 163) and about 2 kilometers south of Palampet village near the 12th-century man made Ramappa lake for irrigation and drinking water. What is now a small village of Palampet in early 21st century, was Atukuru in 11th to 13th century, one of two major cities of the Reddys of Recerla – a Shudra caste family that had risen to be one of the most powerful governors (feudatories) within the Kakatiya empire. Devout Hindus, they built major and some of the most spectacular Shaiva, Vaishnava and Shakti temples in medieval Telingana. One group of many temples are found within 10 kilometers of Palampet, close to the Ramappa lake (another group is found in Pillalamarri). Their legacy is also recited in major Sanskrit inscriptions they left.
The Ramappa temple complex consists of two temples next to each other, another trikuta temple, a Sanskrit inscription pillar, a Nandi monument (above), and several mandapas.
