Pachala Someshwara Temple
Pachala Someshwara Temple, located in Panagal, Nalgonda district, Telangana, is an ancient Saivite Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. The temple derives its name from the deity's idol, which is carved out of green onyx, with "Pacha" meaning "green" in Telugu.
Dating back to the 11th or 12th centuries CE, it was likely constructed during the reign of the Kunduru Chodas and Prataparudra I of the Kakatiya Empire, who governed the Panagal region. The temple complex features four shrines arranged in a square plan, a shared mandapam, and seventy intricately carved pillars.
The architectural style is distinct, with depictions of stories from the Ramayana and Mahabharata adorning the pillars and walls. A Nandi statue sits at the end of the pillared hall, facing the presiding deity, Pachala Someshwara. The temple is in close proximity to Chaya Someshwara Temple, another significant Saivite shrine in Panagal.
