Sanigaram (Kamalapur Mandal)


Sanigaram in Kamalapur Mandal lies on the P.W.D. road leading from Huzurabad in Karimnagar district to Parkal in Warangal district. It is a border village lying in the south of the district at a distance of about 60 kms from Karimnagar and 20
kms from Huzurabad. This Sanigaram is different from that Sanigarm, which lies on Rajiv Highway in Koheda Mandal, where five pillar inscriptions of Kalyani Chlukyan period are found. There is a Kakatiya temple here in the fields about a
furlong away from the P.W.D.road.
Sivalayam
This is a ruined single shrine temple of Kakatiya period dedicated to Siva. It lies in the fields near the village and is about a furlong distant from the P.W.D. road. The visible remains of the temple reveal that it contained garbhagriha, antarala and
mukhamandapa. The garbhagriha is totally lost while antarala is partly visible.
The existing sixteen pillared mandapa is also getting ruined. The mandapa is flat roofed except the central part laid in Kadalikakarana process with a full blown lotus carved on the crowning central square slab with its bud looking
down. Curiously enough the parapet wall of the mandapa is adorned with Kakshasanas with slight slant at the top. There are two miniature shrines facing each other on the pial of the mandapa before the main shrine as found in the temples of Raikal, Kothapalli and Palampet. The under faces of the lintels
of central compartment of the mandapa contain lotus medallions looking down with a bud at the centre.
The faces of the square parts of central pillars contain the beautiful figures of swans, elephants, lions, deer and drummers. There is also a beautiful
sculpture of a huntress with a thorn in her foot and a monkey trying to pick it out. A huntress with a monkey is an oft-carved feature found in the Kakatiyan sculpture.
Ruined sivalayam Nagini
A typical Kakatiyan Nandi fully ornamented in black stone is lying in the mandapa. This beautiful Nandi deserves to be shifted to any Government museum before it is damaged by unsocial elements.
There is a beautiful sculpture of Nagini carved on a stone pillar lying in the courtyard of the temple. It is half serpentineand half human in form holding sword and shield in her hands.
She wears a Mukuta over her head. A long curled Naga serpent carved on the other side of the same stone is noticed. At present the surroundings of the temple are filled with thorny bushes causing inconvenience to the visitor to enter into the temple.

HUZURABD Huzurabad town, the headquarters of a mandal is about 40kms to the south-east of Karimnagar and lies on the highway leading to Hanumakonda. Uppal and Jammikunta are the two nearest railway stations about 10 and 13 kms respectively on the Kazipet-Balharshah line. The headquarters of the taluk was shifted from Jammikunta to Huzurabad in A.D.1913, when probably the old Yedulapuram village might have been renamed as Huzurabad after the Nizam of Hyderabad, who was also called as Huzur or the king. It continued to be the headquarters of a taluk until the mandal set up was introduced in 1984. Now Huzurabad is administered by a major Grampanchayat. The place is noted for its weekly cattle fair.
