Thousand Pillar Temple

The Thousand Pillar Temple was commissioned by the Kakatiya king, Rudra Deva, in 1163 AD. It served as a significant religious and cultural center during the Kakatiya reign. The temple's design reflects the Kakatiya style of architecture, which is characterized by its intricate carvings and the use of local materials. Over the centuries, the temple faced periods of neglect and damage, particularly during the Tughlaq dynasty's invasion in the 14th century. However, restoration efforts have been undertaken to preserve and revive the temple's original grandeur. Today, the Thousand Pillar Temple stands as a protected monument, attracting tourists and devotees from all over the world who come to admire its architectural beauty and historical significance.
