Summary
| Description |
English: Ramalingeshwara temple – also referred to as Ramalingesvara temple or Ramesvara temple – is an early 11th-century temple built during the Kalyani Chalukyas.
It is dedicated to Shiva, and located in the village of Nandikandi (close to Sangareddy) in western Telangana. It is notable for its star-shaped sanctum plan, a large mandapam and the intricately carved pillars inside. The reliefs depict Hindu legends associated with Shaivism, Vaishnavism and Shaktism traditions. According to Michael Meister, an art historian specializing in Indian temple architecture and history, this temple was influential in three ways to Hindu temple architecture that came after 1050 CE: [1] the columnar ratha-buttresses inspired the Kakatiya period; [2] the Bhumija superstructure innovation here was used by other architects in Telangana who came later; and, [3] its Vyala-struts in short pillars became common place in the 13th century temples of central India.
