Two Ancient Sanatani Mandirs at least 1,300 years old, of the late Badami Chalukya period, have been spotted in Mudimanikyam village of Nalgonda district. The rediscovery of the Sanatani Mandirs are significant as they are Badami Chalukyan shrines that adopted the Kadamba nagara style in the Rekha nagara format, making them the only two of their kind in Telangana today. The team further noted that considering their age, they are not in a very dilapidated condition.
Archaeologists have uncovered two temples dating back to the Badami Chalukya era. These temples were unearthed in Mudimanikyam village, located in Nalgonda district on the banks of the Krishna River in Telangana, India.
According to PRIHAH, as this inscription pic2 dates back to 8th or 9th century AD, the dating of this group of five Hindu Mandirs - Panchakuta - can also be ascribed to the late Badami Chalukyan period.
Another inscription, believed to be 350-years-old, was found on two sides of a pillar in #Rama Mandir of Mudimanikyam. However, only one side of the inscription is readable. According to Dr D Surya Kumar, an epigraphist and vice-president of PRIHAH, this inscription gives detailed information about donations to the Rama temple from places like Andhra Pradesh and Warangal
The Hindu Mandirs , dating back at least 1300 years, represent a crucial period in Hindu dynastic history. They exhibit a fusion of architectural styles typical of the time. In one of the temples, archaeologists discovered a panavattam, which serves as the base for a #ShivaLingam within the sanctum sanctorum. In the other temple, they recovered an idol of India
