Ruins of a Kakatiya era temple

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Nagunur (Nagunoor) is located about 10 kilometers north of Karimnagar city. Now reduced to a village-like small town, Nagunur was a major political and religious center by the 13th-century. It has the remains of many major temples as well as is littered with the ruins of numerous damaged stambhas, toranas and temples.
  • The earliest inscriptions found in this area that mention Nagunur, as Nagaruru, and its significance is from the second half of the 12th-century. It also mentions the Kakatiya king Rudradeva.
  • Another inscription found inside one of the ruined temples, but does not mention the name Nagarur or Nagunur, is from the 11th-century. It establishes the temples of Nagunur were in existence by the 11th-century.
  • These ruins are found east of the main Shiva temple, towards the center of Nagunur village. Parts of this temple has been restored from sections.
  • Most of pillars and temple parts are missing, some littered around, some partly buried.
