History & tradition
The Bhadrakali Temple stands on a hilltop in the city of Warangal, Telangana, and is one of the oldest temples of the goddess Bhadrakali. According to writing on the temple wall, it is believed to have been built in 625 CE by the Chalukya king Pulakeshin II to mark his conquest of the Vengi region. The Kakatiya kings later adopted the temple and honoured Bhadrakali as their family deity, and Ganapati Deva had a lake made beside it.
