Summary

Description
English: Also known as Parvati Mahadeva Nameshwara temple, this is a Saivite Hindu temple located in Pillalamarri village of Suryapet district of Telangana, India.

It is a double temple, with the Trikuteshwara temple (Alayam) aligned in parallel to it on the immediate north.

It was built around 1200 CE, and consecrated in 1202 CE by a regional administrator for the Kakatiyas. Nameswara Temple is one among the four prominent and intricately carved stone and granite temples located in Pillalamarri village—the other three being Erakeswara Temple (Shiva), Trikuteshwara Temple (Shiva) and Chennakeshava temple (Vishnu).

The temple is on a square plan and very intricately carved. The double temple includes inscriptions on the wall and a pillar that is inscribed on four sides.

This and other temples in Pillalamari were badly damaged after 14th-century, during the wars between Hindu kingdoms and Islamic Sultanates. The temple artwork inside shows significant violence and defacement (chopped faces or nose, chopped limbs, and beheading). The temple premises retain ruins and local population has put back broken statues of Ganesha and other deities into the temple for active worship.

This and other temples are under review and conservation efforts by the Telangana government.
