Geography & terrain
Kaleshwaram lies in the Jayashankar Bhupalpally district of Telangana, 150 km from Hyderabad and 40 km from Karimnagar — the sangam town of the Godavari and the Pranahita, its Kaleshwara temple and the river sands set at the confluence of the region's great rivers.
History & culture
The town's story runs with the Shiva worship of the region — the Kaleshwara Mukteswara temple of the ancient confluence, with the town's role in the region's mythology and the pilgrimages of the Godavari; the town's modern fame as the site of the Kaleshwaram irrigation project of the state's lifeline, with the Triveni sangam of the rivers, gives Kaleshwaram its sangam-shrine character.
