Navabhrama Temples at Alampur near Kurnool

Deities: Navabhramma (Shiva)

This shrine is considered to be a gateway to Sreesailam, and it has a cluster of 9 temples dedicated to Shiva - called the Bhrama temples. These were built by the Badami Chalukyas (7th century AD).The entire complex is a treasure house of history and art. These temples do not follow the Dravidian temple style and are closer to the Northern and Western Indian styles of architecture. Alampur is known as Dakshina Kashi. A Suryanarayana Temple and a Narasimha temple are also in the complex.

Access and Accomodation: Kurnool
