Chaya Someshwaralayam is one of the famous temple in Nalgonda District and is famous for its mystery of Chaya. This temple is located in Panagal Village which is 4 km away from the Nalgonda town and @110 kms from Hyderabad. This was constructed in 11th Century by Ikshavaku Family and was partially destroyed by Rajakar's still temple is good in shape This temple is called as Thrikutalayam as there are 3 shrines in single temple complex and those are dedicated to Shiva, Vishnu and Surya. Surya Shrine is on the east House, one in north house is of Vishnu Shrine and one opposite to surya shrine is Sri Someshwara Swamy Shrine which is mail shrine in this temple. The major attraction of this temple is its mysterious shadow on which the temple has been named too. Till now it is mystery that how this shadow is falling on main shrine lingam. When I checked with Poojari he told that even if there are clouds still we can see the shadow. It is called as mystery because there in no pillar in front of the shrine it is appearing because of the beaty of Architecture. There are 18 Pillars in Thrikutalayam complex and this was constructed such a way that all those 18 pillars shadow is appearing as single pillow and same is coming on Main shrine. Such a great technology during 11th century This temple is a popular pilgrimage site during shivarathri festival Nearby Tourist Attractions: 1. Pachala Someshwara Alayam 2.
