Thanks to Lakshmi Garu for introducing this beautiful through her blog http://4psmlakshmi.blogspot.com/2008/08/blog-post_1682.html .
After reading this, I thought of going and visit this village many times. It was made possible on one sunday when my school friend accepted to come. We took a Honda CBZ from another friend and started our journey from Lingampally, BHEL circle. We stopped at Kandi village to have breakfast and visited Panduranga Swami temple which was in Kandi Village. This is village where IIT, Hyderabad resides. After breakfast we directly headed to Kalpagur village. This is a scenic village, on the banks of river Manjeera, a tributary of River Godavari. A village environment everywhere and and 4-5 temples in the village. All temples are very ancient and dates back to Kakatiya Period. And some of them or Someswara Temple, Kasi Visweswara Temple. Kasi Visweswara Temple is the main temple of the village. It was built by Kakatiya Rulers in 13th century. This temple is housing 3 deities namely Shiva, Vishnu and some other god. Basically it is called Trikuta Temple, just like Thousand Pillar temple which is in Warangal. All pillars of temple are highly ornate and temple was build using big cut rocks. A pleasant environment exists in the temple and we are offered to remove our shirts before entering the main temple by the priest over there. A nandi at the starting of the temple is very nice. Architecture of the temple is very nice.
Near to this temple, there is Barrage on the river Manjeera. From this place only we'll get water to whole Hyderabad city. There is water purification center and there is also a crocodile breeding center. Officials told us that there are around 600 crocodiles are living in the river and surroundings. They've made a fence at river boarders to prevent the crocodiles entering the nearby villages. This barrage is also a scenic place. A lot of birds, lizards and plants.. wow.. a summer natural picnic spot. And here are the photos.
This place is very near to Hyderabad. 30 kms from From Serilingampally. To reach there, Serilingampally->Patancheru->Sangareddy->kalpagur. Rainy seasons bike journey will be superb or Winter morning seasons or summer evening times.
