It is surrounded by the famous Nava Brahma temples where more than 124 stone sculptures and 26 inscriptional slabs are on display including 64 loose sculptures. The period of these sculptures ranges from 6th to 16th Century AD and they belong to Kakatiyas, Chalukyas, and Vijayanagara dynasties. The Alampur museum is known for its large and varied collection of sculptures that are arranged in a big hall. The entrance to this museum is a sculpted but an unmarked temple doorway. The collections on display include hundreds of beautiful pieces, several of them in polished black stone that indicate that these originate from the 11th century Kakatiyas.
