Alampur Papanasi Temples, Hindu temple complex near Krishna River confluence, Telangana, India.

The Alampur Papanasi complex includes twenty-three temples built between the 9th and 11th centuries, featuring square plans and Nagara architectural elements.

The Archaeological Survey of India relocated and restored these temples after 1980 to protect them from the Srisailam hydroelectric project construction.

The temples contain multiple Shivalingas of different sizes and colors, with elaborate carvings depicting scenes from Hindu mythology and scripture.

The temple site stands 1.5 kilometers from the Alampur Navabrahma Temples and 2 kilometers from the Alampur Bus Station in Jogulamba Gadwal district.

The largest temple, Papanasisesvara, houses a green Shivalinga and displays detailed reliefs of dancing Shiva alongside representations of Ashtadikpalakas.
