History

The Thousand Pillar Temple at Hanamkonda, Warangal, is a Kakatiya trikuta shrine to Shiva, Vishnu, and Surya. Star-shaped platforms and richly carved pillars show the same idiom as Ramappa, in an urban setting.

Legends

• Building a temple to three murtis on one platform expressed Kakatiya royal dharma — Shaiva, Vaishnava, and Saura together.
