'''Details of the Temple:''' This temple was built in 11th century by Ontimitta Obalayya, the Army commander of Kakatiya king, Prataparudra. The sculpture and architecture of this temple are really outstanding. One gets reminded of the 1000 pillar temple in Warangal on seeing this glorious temple. Just in front of the garbhalayam, there is a mandapam for a huge Nandi. This mandapam also has nicely carved pillars.

When sunrays touch the murti of PadmanabhaSwamy, the entire temple glows with light! Ganga (Manjeera) flows beneath the Shiva Lingam into the nearby sacred Pushkarini of the Temple.
