Sri Sangameshwara Temple
The Sri Sangameshwara Temple (also known as Kudala Sangameswara) is a magnificent 8th-century Hindu shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva, located in Alampur, Telangana. Originally constructed at the confluence (Sangam) of the Krishna and Tungabhadra rivers, it was meticulously dismantled and rebuilt rock-by-rock between 1979 and 1990 by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to save it from submergence due to the Srisailam Dam reservoir. It is now situated approximately 1 km from the Alampur bus station, near the Navabrahma temples.

Transplantation: Fearing submergence, the ASI undertook the massive project of shifting the temple in 1979. The structure was numbered, dismantled, and reconstructed on higher ground, completing the work by January 1990.

Discovery: During the relocation, a rare Marakata Linga (emerald linga) was discovered beneath the main Shivalinga, which is now preserved within the sanctum.
