Keesaragutta Temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva and his consort, Parvati, at Keesaragutta, Keesara Village, Medchal-Malkajgiri district, Telangana, India. It is located on a small hillock, roughly 30 km (18 miles) from central Hyderabad, and 12 km (7 mi) from ECIL. The temple draws several lakhs of devotees for the Maha Shivaratri festival, as well as during the month of Kartika on the Hindu calendar.
On top of one of the rock-cut caves around the temple, an early Telugu inscription, read as 'Thalachuvanru', was found.[1][2] Dated to the 5th century CE, it is the earliest known inscription of Telugu words from within the Telangana state.[3][4]
