Dharmapuri Tourist Attractions

Dharmapuri is a temple town in Jagtial district of north Telangana, on the banks of the Godavari river. It is about 30 km from Jagtial and around 230 km from Hyderabad. It should not be confused with Dharmapuri in Tamil Nadu. The town is known for the Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy temple and for its river ghats. The Godavari flows from north to south here, which is considered very holy.

Top places to visit in Dharmapuri

Half a day is enough for the temple and the river.

• Dharmapuri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple - an old temple of Lord Narasimha, first built in the Chalukya period and later expanded by the Kakatiyas. It is counted among the Narasimha kshetras of Telangana.
• Brahma Pushkarini - the old temple tank with small shrines in the water.
• Godavari ghats - pilgrims bathe here before darshan. The ghats are very busy during the Godavari Pushkaralu, held once in 12 years.
