Dichpally Ramalayam, Hindu temple in Nizamabad district, India.

Dichpally Ramalayam is a Rama temple on a hill fort in Dichpally, about 15 km from Nizamabad town on the Hyderabad road. It is built of black and white basalt stone, with carvings of goddesses, animals and figures in Khajuraho style on the walls, ceilings, pillars and door frames. A masonry wall with bastions at the four corners encloses it, and the gateway faces north.

The temple was built in the 14th century by the Kakatiya dynasty and displays architectural features similar to temples found in Khajuraho. This connection to other structures from the same period shows the shared building practices of that era.

The temple draws large numbers of worshippers during Sri Rama Navami, when people gather to perform traditional prayers and rituals together. At this time, the sacred space becomes filled with the collective devotion of many visitors participating in shared religious observance.

Reaching the prayer area requires climbing 105 steps, though a pedestrian tunnel provides access for older visitors and those with mobility difficulties. Visitors planning to use the stairs should wear appropriate footwear and consider their own fitness level.

The temple was left unfinished after Turkic raiders attacked it during construction and damaged its sculptures, so it never gained the prominence it was meant to have. No idol stood in the shrine until 15 July 1949, when villagers led by Gajavada Chinnayya Gupta brought white marble Rama and Sita statues from Jaipur and installed them.
