Cool. We took four entrance tickets and went in. After going we saw a beautiful garden and very huge lake. Then we took a speedboat and enjoyed boating. Then we climbed many wooden sticks till so high. Then there was a bridge made rectangular woods with big distance between each other. We crossed it with fear. Ther e was a shop. We went and ate puffs and drank cooldrinks and got down the bridge. A thrilling experience there

around 160 kms from Hyderabad, via medchal road towards Nizamabad is dichpalli ramalayam, located in midst of a village, beautiful temple architecture,built in basalt stone, main deity god rama, well maintained and has very few visitors to this temple even on a weekend. temple is in between a small fort, parking is available except the roads that lead to the temple is thru a village so bit difficult for larger vehicles to go thru. can become a heritage site if roads leading to the temple are developed and maintained

Quilla Temple in the city of Nizamabad in Andhra Pradesh is a Fort temple, where the fort has a temple at the top.
This is a very nice place for a half day visit. I along with my friends visited the fort temple in the morning . On the way up the fort we saw that there is a Jail below. As we went up there the scenery around and the view of the city started to come up beautifully. The view from the top of the city below is really beautiful.
Also the temple itself is large and magnificent. This is a Ram temple.
Sri Raghunatha Temple or Quila Ramalayam is the temple dedicated to Sri Rama and His consort Sita Devi. It is called as Quila Ramalayam for it is situated inside the Nizamabad Fort premises. The entrance of the temple is consecutive to the entrance of the fort. There are spacious halls surrounding the temple which occupies about 3900 sq. feet of area. The idol of Lord Rama is on the thrown which is in the shape of Kurma (the tortoise), with its legs, hands and head clearly visible.
Some of the locals say that this place is where the great sage Maharshi Raghunatha Swami sat for tapasya (penance). There is a beautiful meditation hall where this sage spent years in meditating to attain salvation. One thing you can notice is its unique system of ventilation that keeps the hall cool always. Spend some time in this hall, meditating (the sacred word Om ), and when you hear the sound echoing, you can experience the body and soul enlightening spiritually. A beautiful and spacious Kalyana Mandapam (marriage hall) also adorns the place.
There is a very big lamp on a pillar, about 53 feet high, near the temple which was lit everyday. It is said that, in olden days it was customary that after seeing this lamp, all the surrounding villagers used to light the lamps in their homes. If you know the science of Vaastu, you can observe that the entire temple is built based on every facts of Vaastu. The open space in the north-east corner of the temple, the spacious and ventilated kitchen at the south-west corner is few examples, which you can notice.
At the bottom of the hillock, on which the temple stands, there is a temple dedicated to Lord Hanuman built during the same time. One of the unique feature of the idol of Lord Hanuman is that the mouth of Lord Hanuman is wide open which cannot be seen in most of the temples in India.
The history of the temple dates back to 17th century when it was actually built during the reign of Chatrapati Shivaji. Chatrapati Shivaji was a great king, a warrior and ruler who ruled most parts of Maharashtra for a long period. He built this temple on the order of his mentor and guru Samartha Ramdasji.
The temple is also closely associated with Maharshi Raghunatha Swami, as it is supposed to be the place where he did penance. There is a tank adjacent to the fort called as Raghunatha tank. It is said that, Swami Raghunatha used to go through one of the underground passages to have his bath in this tank also called as Boddemma tank.

Temple around 40 kms from Nizamabad, and 190 kms from Hyderabad via medchal towards Nizamabad diversion near Dichpalli. We traveled from Hyderabad after visiting dichpalli ramalayam around 30 mins journey from this place. upon reaching ankspoor small road leading to the Dattashram, midst of turmeric and corn fields and a village. roads leading to the temple is very small and thru village so bit difficult to to locate the temple. temple is open till 12.30 pm and again reopens in the evening at 6 pm. Don't follow the website timings. luckily the priest was generous enough to open the temple doors for us in the afternoon for darshan. shiva linga made of mercury was amazing. to add it also had a saligrama inga, spatika and mini lingas made of mercury on all sides, there were other dieties in the temple and statue of pujya sri vittal goud(bapu) maharaj. temple provides accommodation and free food for devotees residing. No food is available outside, so carry food along with you while travelling. for any other information you can visit the website www.gurukrupa.org

It is one of the worthless place to visit. 1st of all their entry ticket is not worth. You can take your car inside the forest trail of 4.5 km. The entry fee of car is 100 rs apart from that each member ticket is 20 rs.
Hardly you may able to see some deer apart from 200-300 mts and some jungle pig ..Total forest trail take hardly 15-20 min and worthless.
