Kamalapur the headquarters of a mandal is a big village lying about 55 km to the south-east of Karimnagar. It is near to Huzurabad and can be reached by bus. It was an important village during the medieval period as it lies on the way leading from the old forts of Elgandal and Mulanguru to Orugallu or Warangal fort. There are old temples in which the sculptures of Chalukyan and Kakatiyan times are noticed.
This temple consisting of garbhagriha, antarala, sixteen pillared mandapa with a porch resting on two pillars appears to be originally a Chenna Kesava temple but now it houses Lord Sri Rama. The beautiful sculpture of Garuda carved on a stone slab of about six feet height is placed before the mukhamandapa.
The temple faces the east. The mandapa is enclosed by walls raised on piles, leaving a passage in the east. The mandapa is flat roofed except the central part laid in Kadalikakarana process. The central square slab contains a full blown lotus in three tiers with its bud looking down from the centre. The temple contains
Vaishnava Dvarapalas on either side of the entrance. To the south of the Mandapa there is another shrine with Garbhagriha and antarala facing the north. Reportedly it was dedicated toJagannatha Swamy, a Vaishnava deity but now it is vacant.
There are two single shrine temples dedicated to Siva in one and the same enclosure. Each shrine consists of garbhagriha and an antarala before it. One shrine faces the east while the other faces the north. Saivite Dvarapalas are carved on either side at the base of the entrance doorway of each mandapa. The ceiling of the mandapas is flat. Each shrine has a Chalukyan Nandi of about 3 feet height before it with less ornamentation. Each garbhagriha contains a Linga placed on a pedestal.
There is a two handed Ganapati holding tusk in the righthand and Modakas in left hand on which the tip of the trunk rests. This sculpture is similar to the Ganapati noticed at Jammikunta which is very near to this place. There is another sculpture of Devi placed in the south-west corner of the court yard.
A monolithic pillar of about 20 feet height stands before these Saivite shrines within the courtyard probably once surmounted by a miniature mandapa with Nandi in it. The whole temple complex may be assigned to 10th and 11th centuries A.D. There is a Telugu inscription of 9 lines on a stone set up in the floor near Sri Rama temple. It is in late characters mentioning only the words Raudri Magha Bahula Shasti Guruvaramu. It records some gift made by Jupalli Rangapati Dharmaraya.
