About Sri Kashi Vishweshwar Temple
Sri Kashi Vishweshwar Temple – Sangareddy is an ancient temple of deity Lord Shiva. This temple is located in Kalpagooru village close to the Manjeera Barrage near Sangareddy, Telangana.
This temple is famous for its beautiful architecture. The temple resembles Thousand Pillar Temple in Warangal. Sri Kasi Vishweswara temple is seen towards the southern portion of garbhaalayam. The temple is also called as Trikootaalayamu as it also have Sri Anantha Padmanabha Swamy temple towards west side & Sri Venugopala Swamy temple towards north side of garbhaalayam.
What the temple is known for
The temple stands at Kalpagoor (also written Kalabgur or Kalpagooru) village, near the Manjeera Barrage and Sangareddy town. The telangana360.com site puts it about 4 km from Sangareddy, while the bus-station distance below is 10 km, so confirm the route locally. Tourism accounts attribute the temple to the Kakatiya period; the sources we found disagree on a more exact date, so none is given here.
Dharmawiki describes a trikutalayam with three shrines around a common sanctum: Kashi Vishweshwara as a linga on the south, Ananta Padmanabha Swamy reclining on Shesha to the west, and Venugopala Swamy with Rukmini and Satyabhama to the north. A large Nandi stands under a mandapam in front of the sanctum, and the mandapam pillars are carved. The same page says the sculpture recalls the Thousand Pillar Temple at Warangal, which agrees with the description above, and that the temple has a sacred pushkarini.
Traditions linked to the temple
Two local traditions are reported: that a stream from Kashi flows below the Shiva linga, and that a coin dropped in the Venugopala Swamy sanctum can be heard falling into water. Both are tradition, and we could not verify them with an official source.
