Architecture
The main entrance of the temple faces North and the three shrines face the other three directions. The temple lies within the precincts of the Nagunur Fort. The fort was once the seat of power of the Kakatiyas. Shiva Temple is facing in North direction and Dhwaja stambha which is 40 ft in height. This temple was constructed in Chalukyan style of architecture and temple is made of Red stone. The beams of the temple have sculptured images of musicians playing on Mridangam and other instruments. Panels are carved with visuals of dancers in graceful poses. There are big and small rock inscriptions in this dilapidated temple, probably telling us a story about the past glory of this temple and the king and his kingdom.
History
Shiva Temple was built in 12th and 13th Centuries by Kakatiya dynasty Kings. Kalyani, Chalukyas and Kakatiyas are the contributors for this temple.
