Alampur
Alampur is a temple town that is about 90 kilometres from the town of Mahabubnagar.
The town is well-known for being the site of confluence of two sacred rivers Krishna and Tungabhadra, and that is why it is also called Dakshina Kashi.
Alampur also is referred to as the Western Gateway to the Shaivite pilgrimage centre, Srisailam.
Located on the left bank of river Tungabhadra, Alampur is encircled by the Nallamala Hills, giving it a scenic beauty.
Another unique aspect of the town is its temples. The two groups of temples, Papanatha and Brahmesvara were constructed by Badami Chalukyas in the 7th century.
The architecture of these temple groups is in the Nagara architecture style, which is found in the states of Maharashtra and Karnataka
