Ammapally Sri Seeta Ramachandra Swamy Temple

Mahabubnagar, Telangana, India
Ammapally Temple is an ancient shrine dedicated to Lord Rama and Sita. It is famously known as the "Movie Temple" because hundreds of Telugu films have been shot here. The temple dates back over 1000 years to the Chalukya era. It is surrounded by a massive wall and a serene water tank filled with l otuses. The idol of Rama is unique as it is a monolithic stone carving without the usual Hanuman idol in the sanctum. :
