Kaleshwar Temple, Vishnupuri

Kaleshwar Temple stands in the Vishnupuri area on the banks of the Godavari River, a short drive from central Nanded. Sources place its origins anywhere from a few centuries to nearly 800 years old, and its pillars carry carved scenes from the Ramayana and Mahabharata in a South Indian architectural style. Steps lead from the temple down to the river, adding a pilgrimage feel to the visit, and the site draws large crowds during Shravan, Maha Shivratri, and Navratri. Its riverside setting keeps it peaceful outside festival periods.
