Historical temples of old Medak district cry for attention

Some of these temples are more than 1000-years-old

The erstwhile Medak district has a number of temples that are over a 1000-years-old. The glorious Kashi Visweswara temple on the outskirts of Kalabgur in Sangareddy mandal, some 5 km from the district headquarters town and just 60 km from the State capital, belongs to the 11th century and was built by the Kakatiya kings. What makes this temple more interesting is that while the main deity is Lord Siva, the idols of Venugopalaswamy and Ananta Padmanabha Swamy are on the same platform. This trikutalayam had caught the interest of the then district Collector Ronald Rose, who had made some efforts to promote it as a tourist destination. Sadly, his successors have not evinced interest in promoting the place.
