UNESCO Recognition.

Nandi Facing the Shivalinga
The temple has a majestic Nandi (sacred bull) that is placed in a manner where it appears to be looking straight at the Shivalinga inside the sanctum.

Kakatiya Style of Architecture
Built in the Kakatiya architectural style, it incorporates elements of Nagara (North Indian) and Dravidian (South Indian) styles.
