  1. Sri Someswara Laxminarasimha Swamy Temple

It is located at a distance of 50 km from Warangal on a hillock in the out skirts of Palakurthi Mandal head quarters. It is also the birthplace of famous poet Palakurthi Somanadha Kavi of 12 the century. His samadhi can be seen here. This historic temple is dedicated to Lord Siva and Vishnu who incarnated in two adjacent caves at a height of 120 meters on the hillock. The 'Pradakshina Path' encircling the two caves is quite natural. There is a dilapidated 'Surya' Temple and Koneru can also be witnessed at this place.

Famous quotes containing the word temples:

    “Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment. To such an extent indeed that one day, finding myself at the deathbed of a woman who had been and still was very dear to me, I caught myself in the act of focusing on her temples and automatically analyzing the succession of appropriately graded colors which death was imposing on her motionless face.”
    —Claude Monet (1840–1926)

    “These temples grew as grows the grass;
    Art might obey, but not surpass.
    The passive Master lent his hand
    To the vast soul that o’er him planned.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “If the world would only build temples to Machinery in the abstract then everything would be perfect. The painter and sculptor would have plenty to do, and could, in complete peace and suitably honoured, pursue their trade without further trouble.”
    —Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)
