Keesara Gutta temple is situated in Keesara village, Ranga Reddy District, which is about 13 km away from Hyderabad.. Edit

Detail InformationEdit

Keesara Gutta temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and his consorts, Shivadurga and Bhavani. There is an interesting story about how the temple got its name. To atone for his sins in killing Ravana, Lord Rama chose this beautiful valley to establish a Shivalinga. He asked Hanuman to bring him a Shivalinga. As the auspicious hour was almost at an end without any sign of Hanuman, Lord Shiva himself appeared and presented Rama with a Shivalinga. Hence the Shivalinga in the temple is also called Swayambulinga and Ramalingeshwara. Meanwhile, unable to find out the perfect Shivalingam, Hanuman returned with 101 Shivalingas for Rama to select. On seeing the installed Shivalinga, he became upset and threw the ones he carried. One can still see the scattered Shivalingas around the temple. In an attempt to mellow down Hanuman, Rama promised him that he would be the first one to be worshipped here, and the hillock on which the temple would stand, will bear his name–Kesarigiri. However, the pronunciation changed with time, to become Keesaragutta.

HistoryEdit

Keesara Gutta Temple or Keesara Ramalingeshwara Swamy Temple is a popular pilgrimage destination situated nearby Hyderabad, in ancient times the village ‘Keesara’ was known by the name Gatika. Gatika was a famous educational institution in the 3rd century AD. Several ruined shrines exhibiting the Gupta style of architecture were excavated from this area, which can be dated back to the 5th century AD. The temple was renovated recently. Since Ramalingeshwara Swamy Temple is situated atop a hill (gutta), it is called as Keesara Gutta Temple. According to legend, the main deity at Ramalingeshwara Swamy Temple was consecrated by Lord Rama and Goddess Sita in Tretayuga, as per the advice of the sages and saints of Gatika, to wash away the sin of Brahma Hatya that occurred due to the assassination of Ravanasura (Ravana). The linga of the presiding deity of Keesara Gutta Temple, Lord Ramalingeshwara, is believed to be the manifestation of Lord Shiva himself. There are 101 lingas of varying heights within the temple complex, which are believed to be installed by Lord Hanuman.As per folklore, one who prays these 101 Shivalingas would get blessings of all 330 million gods. There is also a large statue of Lord Hanuman nearby Keesara Gutta Temple. The temple is visited by pilgrims during the auspicious days of Karthik and Magh months.
There is a museum nearby Keesara Ramalingeshwara Swamy Temple, where various articles excavated from the region is exhibited. The festivals conducted at Keesara Gutta Temple are Maha Shivaratri, Shiva Kalyanam, Sri Ramanavami, Hanuman Jayanthi and Ramalingeshwara Brahmotsavam.
