Ramappa Temple listening passage for 6th Class Students

Hi, I’m Sambaiah. I’m from Palampet, it is about 80 kilometers away from

Warangal city. Have you ever heard about the Ramappa Temple? It’s located in our

village. This temple was built in 1213 A.D. by Racherla Rudra during the period of the

Kakatiya ruler Ganapatideva. It was completed in 40 years. You know, it’s the only

temple that was named after the architect Ramappa, who built it.

This temple is famous for beautiful carvings and attractive statues. The pillars of

the temple produce music when we hit them gently. Unlike the other temples, the

Nandi in this temple is in alert position, waiting for the order of Lord Shiva.

One more interesting thing is that the bricks of the temple float on water. Maha

Shivaratri is celebrated for three days here. People come from different parts and

offer special prayers. They take the bricks of the temple with them as the token of our

temple.

Feeling interested! Come to our village on a holiday trip.
