Dharmapuri, Telanganaధర్మపురి

Skip Dharmapuri unless you are a Hindu pilgrim visiting the Laxmi Narasimha Swamy temple complex; a half-day stop from Karimnagar is enough.

Not yet checkedSourcesWhat these labels mean

Dharmapuri is a small temple town on the Godavari river in northern Telangana, 250 km from Hyderabad. Its main draw is the Laxmi Narasimha Swamy temple complex, which includes rare shrines to Lord Yama and both Yoga and Ugra Narasimha. The riverfront and a handful of smaller temples fill a few hours. Most travellers use it as a short detour between Karimnagar and Basara or Vemulawada.

Rules in force · 6
  • South Asia ↗Trekking regions, border districts and several Indian states need separate permits on top of the visa; check the permit before you book transport into them.
  • South Asia ↗Remove shoes (and in many Jain and Hindu temples, leather) before entering; cover shoulders and legs; ask before photographing people or rituals.
  • India ↗Apply for the e-visa only on the official government portal (indianvisaonline.gov.in); lookalike sites charge extra. Check the current rules, fees and how far ahead to apply.
  • India ↗Do not follow anyone who says your hotel is closed, the station ticket office is closed or a road is shut; use the prepaid taxi counter, the metro or an app car.
  • India ↗Carry Indian rupees in small notes (10, 20, 50, 100); change for 500 is often refused.
  • India ↗Parts of the Northeast, Sikkim, Ladakh, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and all border belts need a Protected or Restricted Area Permit or an Inner Line Permit for foreigners; check before you book the route.

Entry rules depend on your passport. Full visa guide
