About
Vemulawada is home to one of Telangana's well-known temples to Lord Shiva, popularly called Dakshina Kasi. The presiding deity is Sri Raja Rajeshwara Swamy, fondly called Rajanna.
The temple complex also has a Sri Raja Rajeshwari Devi temple and an idol of Sri Laxmi Sahitha Sidhi Vinayaka. The temple draws large crowds at festivals, especially Shivaratri.
Rock-cut inscriptions in and around the temple record that Vemulawada was the capital of the Vemulawada Chalukyas from 750 to 973 AD. The district page says the Kannada poet Pampa lived here as court poet of Arikesari II.
