Summary

Description
English: Nidigonda is a historic village in Warangal district. It is about 100 kilometers northeast of Hyderabad and about 50 kilometers southwest of Warangal city.
  • The earliest inscription found in this village is from the late 7th or 8th century, based on the script. Several other inscriptions found here suggest that this was a prosperous town before the 13th-century. One inscription found in a historic water tank here is from 1104 CE by Kalyani Chalukyas. It is a gift to support a Hindu temple and monastery by the local chief and his wife, with support from the Kalyani Chalukyas.
  • The village has several temples in ruins. This Shiva temple is a large three-sanctum temple, but much of the temple is shattered into pieces and scattered in every direction in a way that suggests deliberate destruction. This happened in or after the 13th-century, during the Deccan Sultanate period.
  • The temple was a Shiva temple, since Nandi and other Shaiva artwork is scattered around.
