:Ramappa Temple (also known as Ramalingeswara Temple) is situated in a valley at Palampet village of Venkatapur Manda. It's an ancient temple built by a General Recherla Rudra, during the reign of Kakatiya ruler Ganapati Deva in 1213 AD. The history says that it took 40 years to build this temple. This temple is constructed in the South Indian architectural style and is devoted to Lord Shiva. The temple got its name from Ramappa, the chief sculptor of the temple. It's probably the only temple in the country to be known by the name of its sculptor. The Ramalingeswara Temple consists of garbhagriha, large ranga mandapa and a mukha mandapa. At the entrance of the temple, we can find a large Nandi mandapa. An imposing 9 feet Nandi statue is quite famous here.The roof of the temple is built with bricks, which are so light that they are able to float on water. The walls of the temple exhibit carvings depicting stories from the Mahabharata and the Ramayana. After fully exploration of the temple stop over for a quick local lunch(own expense) and end your journey with a drop back to the hotel.
