    You might want to ask the temple office for a walk that takes you to the stone slabs at the base of the main sanctum those panels have inscriptions in Prakrit that reference both the Satavahana and Ikshvaku periods. After that, a short drive to the nearby village of Kurnool gives you a chance to see the Vijayanagara style watchtowers that once guarded the route to Srisailam. If you’re staying in Bangalore, The Oberoi Bengaluru offers a quiet retreat after a day of exploring the temple’s layers.
