At a distance of 82 Kms from Warangal and 82 Kms from
Hyderabad, Sri Veeranarayana Temple is an ancient temple built in 403 AD,
located in Kolanupaka village in Nalgonda District.
This highly revered temple is dedicated to Shri Veeranarayana, an incarnation
of Lord Vishnu. The temple architecture is good and it resembles the Chalukya
style of architecture. This is an important Vaishnava temple in Warangal. It is
claimed that this was an ancient Jain temple later converted to a Hindu temple.
The temple is situated at a distance of 1 Km from Kolanupaka Bus Station and
1.5 Kms from Jain Temple. It is on the way to Sri Someswara Temple which is 0.5
Kms away. It seems the temple lost its glory and currently being maintained by
Archeological Department. Poojas are still being performed.
