Chennur

Chennur lies on the Godavari River in northern Telangana, near its meeting with the Pranhita. River valleys connected settlements across the Deccan, while surrounding fields and woodland supported rural life. The river's course gives the town a place within a wider landscape of cultivation and religious sites.

The Agastheeswara temple at Chennur is dedicated to Shiva. Local accounts associate its reconstruction with the Kakatiya ruler Prataparudra and later work with the Vijayanagara ruler Krishnadevaraya. These are traditions about the shrine's history.
