Satyavati Temple




Satyavati Temple lies at Dharmapuri in the Jagtial taluk of Karimnagar District. It is located near the Narasimha Swamy temple. Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy is the presiding deity and the utsava idols (festival deities) are Satyavati and Chitrangada.

Legend says that when Satyavati and her husband a Sesha (cobra), took bath in the Godavari River, Sesha was changed into a handsome man, and was known by name Chitrangada. It is said that Satyavati, in order to prove her modesty, built an earthen pillar, which is 20 ft high. Hence, the Lord here is also called as Stambha Narasimha Swamy.

The nearest railway station is at Peddapalle on the Kazipet-Balharshah section of the South Central railway.
