Kakatiya architecture

Kakatiya architecture of 1163–1323 CE was a notable Vesara temple building architecture developed during the rule of the Kakatiya dynasty 1163–1323 CE, in the region known today as eastern Deccan comprising Telangana and Andhra Pradesh states of India. The Kakatiya architecture is more significant in Hanamakonda — their first capital and Warangal being their second capital.^[1]^{: 128–140}

Most of the Kakatiya architecture is influenced from Chalukya architecture a fusion of Dravidian architecture and Nagara Bhumija styles in which sandbox technology is used to construct Vimana—horizontal stepped tower. There are hundreds of monuments in the core of Hanamakonda and Warangal of which Thousand Pillar Temple, Ramappa Temple, Ramappa Lake, Warangal Fort and Kota Gullu are prominent,^[1] among which Ramappa Temple, also known as the Rudreshwara temple, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Mulugu, 66 km (41 mi) from Warangal, 209 km (130 mi) from Hyderabad.^[2]
