Q. Sangameshwara Temple, recently seen in the news, lies on the banks of which river?
Answer:
Krishna
Notes: The Sangameshwara Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, has recently been submerged in the backwaters of the Srisailam project in Nandyal district due to heavy inflow from the Krishna River. Located in Andhra Pradesh, the temple was originally built in 740 AD by Chalukya ruler Pulakesin II on the Krishna River bank. It was originally situated where the Tungabhadra and Krishna Rivers merge, 10 km from its current location. To prevent submersion from the Srisailam Dam's construction, the temple was dismantled and rebuilt at its current site in 1979, maintaining its historical and religious significance.
