This Lord Shiva's stone temple stands testimony to the Kakatiya rule in Southern India and is believed to be constructed by Ramappa, a great sculptor in the times of Kakatiya Kingdom. The temple is located on the way to Nizamabad from Hyderabad, in a small village called Domakonda, falling in the premises of the “Killa Domakonda” (Domakonda Fort).

You will not find a flag mast in front of the temple unlike other temples. An explanation is that the temple doesn’t have a gopuram (temple tower). However there are temples having flag mast even with out the temple tower.

A few years back the temple was in dilapidated condition. Very recently the stone temple was completely disassembled and re-arranged to bring it into today’s firm standing. The temple has a huge shiva linga - considered as an embodiment of Lord Shiva, with its guarding presence by the Nandhi (Bull) carved from a single stone. The temple is much elevated by many rock beds beneath giving a high standing from the ground level. The temple roof stands on eighteen stone carved pillars.

There is not so much information about the temple except for its archaeological importance. It should be on your must to visit list if you are at Domakonda.

Domakonda is a small village that falls around 04 km from the main road on the way to Nizamabad District from Hyderabad (NH7) and is close to 100 km from Hyderabad. Also on the premises is Domakonda Fort.
