Lets start our new year celebrating the cultural and religious diversity of our great nation. Neelagunda is a village in Karnataka where were settled 500 brahmans from Dravidian regions during the reign of the king Vikramaditya VI of the Chalukyas of Kalyana line. This Dravidian region of course would be our present Tamilnadu. Hence the village reflects the cultural diversity and movements during the medieval ages.
Bhimeshvara temple is built on the bank of Tungabhadra and presents a very scenic view. It is built in tri-kuta style with a Nagara shikhara on the top. An inscription here mentions that the village was granted to 500 Brahmans who came from Dravidian regions.
