About The Temple :
This temple is located around 80 Kms from Hyderabad and Mahaboob Nagar and 4 Kms away from CharagondaVillage on the way from kalwakurthy to Devarakonda. This is one of the important Srirama Temples in Mahaboob Nagar Districts and it is located on a small hillock. This temple was constructed during 13th and 14th Centuries. Owing to the instructions of Srirama in a dream, the idol of this temple brought from Palvanur near Bhadrachalam. Earlier to this temple, Datthatreya Ashram and Muthyalamma temples were here. This hillock is covered with stone slab to an extent of 60 acres. Before this hillock you can find a small forest spread to an extent of 24 acres with Tamarind and Neem trees. From the top of the hillock you can see the natural beautiful locations in all directions. Srirama Navami will be celebrated in a grand way.
Adisila Kshetram – Modalikallu
This place is located about 18 Kms away from Gadwal. Sri Venkateshwara Swamy is the main deity here. The literal meaning of Modalikallu is first stone or Adisila in Sanskrit language. This Shrine is also called as Adisila Kshetram, Girishachalam and Rudrachalam. Gradually this Modalikallu has been changed to Madikal. As per place history, Lord Brahma has created a rock from which Sri Laxmi Venkateswara swamy is emanated, so, from that day onwards it is called as Adisila Kshetram.
One can see the idols of Sri Anjaneya Swamy, Narsimhaswamy, Anantha Seyanamurthy, Sridevi, Bhudevi in one rock. Gadwal ruler Sri Pedda Soma Bhopala has reconstructed this Temple. The importance and glory of this place was mentioned in Brahmanda Puranam. The Main Deity is also called as Thimmappa. Sacred water body (Pushkarini) can be seen nearer to the temple. Brahmostavam will be celebrated every year on the day of Margasira Pournami. Pilgrims from Karnataka also visit this Place.
