I’m known for my enthusiasm to go to any extent to surpass my standards. I make frequent attempts to imbibe the context of consequences, seek solutions and steadily work towards perfection, for
Perfection is truth in my personal opinion.
To me, Architecture is a realm of enclosure of space in relation to nature rather than mere fabrication. Delivering an architectural solution is simple but not easy.I’m in search of indegenous knowledge of building practices into contemporary approach. My threshold is afresh,ready for the ventures.

Latitude : N 18˚ 15’ 32.88” Longitude : E 79˚ 56’ 35.54”
Rudreshwara(Ramappa) Temple Palampet, Telangana
Criteria (i) Represent a masterpiece of human creative genius Rudreshwara (Ramappa) Temple is a master piece of Kakatiyan style of Temple architecture with the use of engineering innovation by creating floating bricks, sand-box foundations, material selection knowledge and ingenuity in stone sculpting as technological ensemble. The sculptural and form modification, evolution of temple art, sculpture and use of technology in material selection and making as displayed in Rudreshwara Temple at Palampet,Keerthi Thoranas at Warangal, Temple of Thousand Pillars at Hanumakonda are master pieces of human creativity.
Criteria (ii) Exhibit an important interchange of human values, over a span of time or within a cultural area of the world, on developments in architecture or technology, monumental arts, town-planning or landscape design. Rudreshwara Temple displays an important interchange of human values over a span of about 180 years i.e. from 12th to 14th century CE. in the Telugu language speaking region of the Deccan India by the Kakatiyas on development of sand-box technology for geo-structural strength, manufacturing of light weight bricks, evolving improved technology from the Kalyana Chalukyas. The interchange of human values is also displayed in the later traditions of Vijayanagara, due to the strong evolved knowledge system of Kakatiyas. This indigenously developed method, treatment of divine, human, animal, floral and geometric designs in most appealing proportions, creation of three dimensional figures, in an immaculate way using tiny tools and implements is a contribution for the human kind universally. This also led to unique architectural style of the region identifiable as Kakatiyan style distinctive to the region of Telangana. The construction of large scale reservoirs with a network of canals and distribution channels is evident with Ramappa Cheruvu(lake) and Ghanpur Cheruvu respectively, close to the Temple sites of Ramappa and Kotagullu(2.a). This technology developed by introduction of embankments to expand the water catchment areas, dams for improved storage and transport water through canals for agriculture.

Criteria (iii) Bear a unique or at least exceptional testimony to a cultural tradition or to a civilization which is living or which has disappeared Rudreshwara Temple is a best surviving example of Kakatiyan tradition of art, architecture and technology, even after the onslaught on various other temples of Kakatiyan era. The temple is an outstanding example of temple architecture evolution illustrating a phase of development in the science, technology, and art of temple building and construction in Deccan India. The temple stands as a testimony demonstrating an elaborate materialization of the regional dance customs and Puranic texts.

ELUCIDATION AND EVALUATION
The sandstone used here has a compressive strength range from 600 to 1000Kg/cm2. Tensile strength varies from 50 to 80Kg/cm2 (lower end of the desirable range50-250Kg/cm2). Hence the Most damage is among the slabs and beams whereas compressive members are intact and defect-less.
The trust has In addition to the focus on World Heritage status of Rudreshwara(Ramappa) Temple at Palampet, the Kakatiya Heritage trust is involved in restoration of small temples in the vicinity of Ramappa temple. Shivalayam near Tiger Sluice on the Eastern End of Ramappa Lake Bund in Palampet village, JayaShankar Bhupalpally District is an unlisted Kakatiya Monument, which is under great distresses due to weathering and non maintenance. The temple is not listed/identified in any of the official lists of Archaeological Survey of India or State Archaeology. The temple required non-destructive methods of observation, careful measured drawing, components’ photography, photogrammatry for prescise architectural documentation and systematic numbering of the temple guiding the reconstruction process. Though the temple is disintegrated and abandoned, it reveals the evidence of extensive construction technology of Kakatiya temples and the possible reasons of failure of Shivalayaam’s structure. The temple’s safety is evaluated in terms of seismic design, visual composition, structural behaviour, and completeness as prescribed by Shilpa-Sashtra and Vastu-Sashtra.
Kakshasana(seating) slabs were induced to irregular compressive forces and drastic bending moments due to falling of Vedibandha(parapets) and dead loads of columns and roof respectively. This documentation method involved analysising the number of slab fragments and recording their angle of inclination. Thanks to the sand-box foundation, the sinking of the floor beams influenced the inward inclination of these slabs.

Present Condition Mapping West Elevation
The numbering was done with utmost care so as to ease with the reconstruction process. Each level and component of the temple were numbered clockwise, coded with a Cardinal direction they face as in their respective position. Specific components such as Roof Slabs, natyamandapa columns are are coded with distinct numbering format for easy identification. Special instance of a sub-(broken) part or inner face of a component is denoted accordingly so as to avaoid any discrepancy during re-erection.
