About Ramappa Temple
Ramappa Temple, also known as Rudreshwara Temple, is located in Palampet village, Mulugu district of Telangana.
It was built in the 13th century during the Kakatiya dynasty, under the reign of King Ganapati Deva.
The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is named after its chief sculptor, Ramappa, which is rare in Indian temple architecture.
It is famous for its intricately carved pillars, detailed sculptures, and high-quality sandstone craftsmanship.
The temple’s unique feature is its lightweight floating bricks used in the roof, which reduce structural load.
In 2021, the Ramappa Temple was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site under the category “Kakatiya Rudreshwara (Ramappa) Temple”.
