Pachala Someswara temple
Nalgonda district, India
Also known as: పచ్చల సోమేశ్వర దేవాలయం
Pachala Someswara Temple is a Shaivite Hindu temple located in Panagal, Nalgonda district, Telangana, India. It is a popular pilgrimage site particularly during Maha Shivaratri. The idol of the deity at the temple is carved out of green onyx, which is the source of the temple's name—Pacha meaning "green" in Telugu. The temple is in close proximity to Chaya Someswara Temple, another Shaivite shrine in Panagal. The temple dates back to the 11th or 12th centuries CE and was probably built during the rule of Kunduru Chodas and Prataparudra I of Kakatiya dynasty who governed the Panagal region.[2]
