Dharmapuri is a pilgrimage and archaeological site and a large village (small town) located on the west bank of Godavari river in the Jagtial district of north Telangana and the border of the Mancherial district. It is home to several historic Hindu temples. These temples were damaged and a few destroyed in the 14th and 15h-centuries conquest of Deccan region, with one temple force-converted into a mosque by Rustumdikhan in the mid 15th-century during the Islamic rule of this region from Hyderabad. A new main temple was rebuilt by the Hindus after the 15th-century and re-dedicated to Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy. It serves as the primary pilgrimage attraction. The other temples are near or along the river.
