Alampur Temple tableau won First prize

A Marvelous attempt..! Just a couple of days back It happened as a happiest event for the people of newly carved out Telengana state.The tableau represented from the the department of Telangana state tourism and culture for Mysore Dussera festivities bagged first prize.That sounds incredible and a good sign all over indeed.The interesting feature is a proud historical temple of Alampur's Jogulamba,the consort of Brahmeswara depicted on the tableau.Unfortunately Alampur temple did not get its due recognition though which is a spectacular architectural wonder constructed during the 7th century.With winning in the Mysore Dussera celebrations,once again the name of Alampur temple came up.Thanks to Sri Rallabandi Kavita Prasad,Director,Tourism and Culture department.

Alampur ,the temple town,located in the district of Mahabubnagar is 200 k.m.away from Hyderabad.In fact,there are nine temples in Alampur.Believed to be built by Badami Chalukyas.Still,the art and sculpture on the temples seemed intact though hundreds of years passed away.Alampur is considered as one of the 51 Saktipeethas.Surprisingly  the gopuram of the temple and sculpture on the walls has resemblances with Utkala craftmanship.
