The Sri Neelakanteshwar Swamy Temple, also known as the Neelakantheswara Temple, is an ancient temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, located in Kanteshwar Colony, Nizamabad, Telangana. The temple is renowned for its stunning architecture and historical significance. The presiding deities of the temple are Lord Shiva and Parvati, who is also known as Neelakanta due to the presence of a blue throat.
