About

The Ramappa Temple, also known as the Rudreshwara Temple, stands at Palampet in Mulugu district. India's list of World Heritage properties names it the Kakatiya Rudreshwara (Ramappa) Temple, inscribed by UNESCO in 2021. It is dedicated to Lord Shiva.

It was built in the 13th century under the Kakatiya dynasty. Telangana Tourism says it was built by Recharla Rudra, a general under the Kakatiyas, and that the temple is named after its sculptor, Ramappa.

The temple stands on a raised platform. Its carved pillars, ceilings and outer-wall sculptures show scenes from Hindu mythology, and its tower (vimana) is built of light, porous bricks known as 'floating bricks', which reduce the load on the structure.

The temple lies near Ramappa Lake, a reservoir built in the Kakatiya period.
