This is the temple of lord Shiva and was built by the rulers of Kakatiya Dynasty. Mainly by rani rudrama devi and her grand son prataaparudra. These temples are unique because they were built by the black stone blocks and carvings on them and nothing else. On the occasion of mahashivratri one needs to wait in line for 10 to 12 hours for darshan whereas on other festivals 2 to 4 hours, restof the year no need to wait at all.

If you are a true history lover. Must visit warrangal thousand pillar temple and warrangal fort.

It is a peaceful experience here, we can visit Lord Shiva Temple here, but we are not allowed near Thousand pillars Mandap due to its renovation.

I was in warangal for a day and with God grace I got chance for darshan at this temple. I am thankful to God for this opportunity.
There is limited parking space available in front of temple gate.

This is one of the historical places but in Jan 2024, it was under restoration and not sure til when it will be finished. Visitors are not being allowed inside. They can visit the Rudeswara Swany temple but not the historic Thousand Pillar monument.
There is no huge space for parking for heavy vehicles like buses, if you are lucky you can get. Better to go there on two wheeler or four wheeler or Taxi to avoid the parking problem if anyone is visiting on weekends, holidays or festivals as it will rush. They are charging for parking but they are unauthorised.

Must visit place. You can visit during weekdays for a peaceful visit when less people are around. Get an archana ticket when you visit. Parking lot is very small. Plan the visit in an auto to avoid parking struggle.

This great temple was built in the 12th century by Kakatiya dynasty. This shows the architectural brilliance of ancient India. The Archeological survey of India putting a tremendous effort to retain its glory.
This work of art is well connected with the city by various mode of transportation. There were lot of rush on weekdays also, specially from late afternoon.
You can come and enjoy some peaceful time with your family.

The temple is very beautiful. The thousand pillars temple shows intricate architecture and interlocking patterns. No wonder these stood the test of time. The renovation is going on so be prepared for noise. The shiva idol looks different here and are symbolic of special style of kakatiya dynasty. I loved visiting the temple. There is no entrance fee. The parking is limited (about 20 cars) on spot but there is overflow parking that can accommodate about 10 more cars. Price for overflow parking is Rs. 50. Must visit on your trip to Warangal.

Currently, Maintenance work is going on to protect this wonderful temple. No entry fee except for parking which is 50 rupees. OM NAMASHIVAYA
