Uppal of karimnager dist

Uppal in Kamalapur Mandal was once the headquarters of a Fargana with 30 villages under its control. It was an important old village because it lies on the way from Elgandal fort to Orugallu fort (via) Mulanguru fort. Uppal is a railway

station today lying on Kazipet-Balharsha line.

There is a Vaishnava temple probably belonging to the medieval period which presently houses lord Venkatesvara. It consists of garbhagriha, antarala and sixteen pillared mukhamandapa with a porch resting on two pillars in the front.

There is a Prakara wall around the temple.

A small temple dedicated to Siva is noticed on the other side of the road leading to Kamalapur. There is a Gadi or fortalice with bastions on four corners. The lower half of the bastions and walls is built in stone while upper half is noticed in mud

and brick. It belongs to the ancestors of Pendem Rangarao and his predecessor Lakshman Rao. It stands now partly ruined.
