[[File:Chikati Gudi, Kothapali Haveli, Telangana - 28.jpg|thumb|Internal view of Chikati Gudi in Kothapalli Haveli]]
The ruins of Chikati Gudi ({{Langx|te|చీకటి గుడి}}), an ancient [[Hinduism|Hindu]] temple, can be found within the village. It is somewhat similar to the main Shiva temple found in Nagunur village 9 km to the east. It is one of the many Hindu, Jain and Buddhist ruins in Telangana. Following independence, the interior of the temple was cleaned, but the structure remained neglected for decades. Unlike other Hindu temples, which usually have their entrances on their east side, Chikati Gudi faces southward and has a porch there for entrance.{{fact|date=June 2023}}

Like other important temples in India, Chikati Gudi stands on a large platform, measuring about 2 meters from the base to the surface. The surface is molded, and the base extends about 3.2 meters around the temple to provide a [[circumambulation]] path for the visitors.{{fact|date=June 2023}}

Its mandapa (hall) is shared by three [[Garbhagriha|garbhagriya]] (sanctums, built in the trikutesvara design). The walls are carved with many cells and frams by sculptors, and the pillars are finely carved sculptures.{{fact|date=June 2023}}

The doorways to the sanctums are carved with [[Nataraja]] on the architrave. It is believed that the temple have been dedicated to the principle deity [[Shiva]].{{fact|date=June 2023}}
