History & tradition
The Alampur Navabrahma Temples are a group of nine temples at Alampur in Telangana, near the meeting of the Tungabhadra and Krishna rivers. They were built by the Badami Chalukyas between the 7th and 9th centuries. Though called Nava-Brahma, all nine are dedicated to Shiva. They are early examples of the Nagara style built in cut stone, with simple east-facing square plans and carvings on Shaiva, Vaishnava and Shakta themes, including friezes that tell stories from texts such as the Panchatantra. Inscriptions suggest a Shaiva monastery once stood here. The Archaeological Survey of India restored the temples after 1980.
