Alampuram (Hemalapuram) is a town situated in Jogulamba Gadwal district[1][2] in the Indian state of Telangana.

It is the meeting point of the rivers Tungabhadra and Krishna and is referred to as Dakshina Kasi and is also considered the western gateway to Srisailam.

Jogulamba temple is one of the eighteen Maha Shakta pithas, which are the most significant shrines and pilgrimage destinations in Shaktism.

Under the name Hatampura, it was mentioned in an inscription dated to 1101 CE in the reign of Western Chalukya king Vikramaditya VI.

The uniqueness of this group of temples lies in their plan and design in the northern architectural style introduced by the Chalukyas of Badami between 650 and 750 CE.

[9] The Jogulamba temple is regarded as a Shakta pitha where Sati Devi's upper teeth fell.

[5] The history of Daksha yagna and Sati's self-immolation is the origin story of Shakta pithas.

The body parts of the corpse of Sati Devi had fallen in these places, when Lord Shiva carried it and wandered throughout Aryavartha in sorrow.

[5] These temples date to 7th to 8th century CE and were built by the Badami Chalukyas rulers who were patrons of art and architecture.

According to The Imperial Gazetteer of India,[17] Alampur was a taluk of Raichur district, Hyderabad State.

The Krishna River separates the taluk from Mahbubnagar district on the North and the Tungabhadra from Karnataka state.
