Surrounded by the tranquil neighbourhoods of the village of Dharmapuri in Karimnagar district of Telangana, which retains the pious character of spiritual devotion/tradition of divine heritage, the Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy temple ensures that the immortal aspects in the environment are maintained. Dharmapuri is not just a village by name, it is a spiritual place, it is sacred because it houses this age old temple dedicated to Lord Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy, a incarnation of Lord Vishnu.

The fact that there exist two different idols of Lord Narasimha Swamy is what makes this temple particularly special. The elder idol, Pata Narasimha Swamy, was the incarnation of this great god worshiped here for generations. After this, another temple was built housing Kotha Narasimha Swamy – “new” form of the Lord. Both these idols which are different in form and place, are highly worshipped and have far flung devotees too.

Dharmapuri also has reputation as one of the most important seat of Vedic Brahmins in Telangana, a fact contributing towards the spiritual fabric as well as cultural mosaic of the town.

3.Qila Fort Jagityal

The Qila Fort or the Jagtial Fort as it is majorly known is an architectural rarity which describes tales of Telangana’s valor and the historical scale of opulence that existed. Home to this fort is Jagtial district. Although time has worn down many of its former glories, there still remains the ruins of this 17 th century fort, still enough to capture the attention of travelers and history buffs.

Other Indian forts can not be compared to the Qila Fort because of its European heritage. Its designers and builders were two European engineers Tal and Jack in the 17th century. In fact, even the very name “Jagtial” finds its roots in the concurrence of their names — Jag (Jack) and Tial (Tal), which is a fascinating synthesis which is meant to memorialize their contribution.

The fort design is star shaped, a rarity in India and it had strong fortifications all around moated, giving it the look of an island fortress. The strategic design of this is like a European military castle, which, according to the engineers’ origins, are foreign, and the eclecticism of Telangana historical landscape.
