ReplyThe Thousand pillars temple which is located in Hanamkonda is one of the most important parts of Warangal City
I agree, 1000 pillar temple is one of the best places to visit in warangal. I personally feel that, there is some alien technology associated with this temple, as the joints in the pillars cannot be seen easily, and scientists have also confirmed that this temple is not made of 1 rock but multiple rocks.
