dbo:abstract
  • The Devunigutta Temple ("God’s hill" in Telugu) or Shiva Temple, Kothur is a Hindu temple near Kothur village in the Mulugu District, Telangana, India, some 60 km east of Warangal. Located in a remote forested plateau, it was probably built c. 6th century CE by the Vakatakas. It was first recorded in 2012, in an abandoned state, by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI); however, it did not come to wider attention until images were posted on social media in 2017. The temple now consists of a square sanctuary with a shikhara or vimana tower, with the sanctuary open to the interior of the tower, and a low wall enclosing an entrance court. An unusual profusion of relief sculptures, though very worn, are located both inside and outside. Visiting international scholars, as well as local people, have expressed concern about the condition of the building. Local voluntary groups cleared the vegetation growing on the actual structure, although by 2020 much had regrown. In late 2019 the Archaeological Survey of India was ready to restore the temple, but was awaiting permission from the local authorities. An image of Narashima was installed after 2012, and the temple is in informal worship. (en)
