Geography & terrain
Vemulawada lies in the Rajanna district of Telangana at about 250 m, 150 km from Hyderabad and 35 km from Karimnagar — the pilgrim town of the region, its 8th-century temple, the tanks and the ghats set on the Telangana plain.
History & culture
The town's story runs with the 8th-century temple era — the pilgrim town of the 8th-century temple and the 19th-century-era popularity of the Dakshina Kashi life, with the town's modern role as the pilgrimage of the Telangana circuit and the home of the 8th-century-era temple and the tank and the 2000s-era ghats; the town's history of the 1980s-era festivals and the tank paths, gives Vemulawada its pilgrim character.
