It is known for being the home place of the ancient temple of Keshavanathaswamy, which was built in 1304 A.D. by Kakatiya King [Prataparudra](/source/Prataparudra) and is called as Kota Gudi, due to the mud fort that surrounds the temple. The temple is a trikutalayam which houses three sanctums for Shiva and Vishnu, and resembles the typical Chalukyan and Kakatiya architectural styles.{{citation needed|date=June 2020}}
