Kakatiya Sister's Temple Replaces Original Muppeswaralayam Identity
9 Mar
Summary
- Nidigonda's current temple built in AD 1219, not the original AD 1104 shrine.
- Kakatiya ruler Ganapati Deva's sister Kundamamba constructed the later temple.
- Inscriptions distinguish the AD 1104 Kalyani Chalukya temple from the AD 1219 Kakatiya temple.
A historical clarification has emerged regarding the Muppeswaralayam in Nidigonda, Jangaon district, concerning its true identity and construction date. The current Trikuta Shaiva temple, which stands in Nidigonda, was not the original Muppeswara Devara temple built in AD 1104. Instead, inscriptions indicate this temple was erected later, in AD 1219.
