Kollapur
Travel Information
The
Madhava Swamy temple at Kollapur was originally built by the Rajas
of Jetprole during the 16th century A.D. on the left bank of River
Krishna, at Manchalakatta. The architecture of the temple is exceedingly
beautiful.
All around the temple walls the beautifully carved sculptures
depict the 24 aspects of Vishnu and the Dasa-Avatars of Vishnu.
Various pillars supporting the Mandapa, the Garudalaya add beauty
to the temple complex.
Due to the submergence under the Srisailam project reservoir,
this temple was shifted and transplanted at Kollapur. This temple
is located 180 kms from Hyderabad and 110 kms from Kurnool &
Mahabubnagar.
