Musical pillars and the main unfinished gopuram

Bugga Ramalingeswara Swamy temple is a Siva shrine situated on the southern bank of the Penna river in Tadipatri, Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh, India.[1] It was built between 1490 and 1509 by Pemmasani Ramalinga Nayudu I, a chieftain of the Gutti-Gandikota region during the reign of the Vijayanagara Empire.[2]

The presiding deity is a linga, considered to be ‘swayambhu’ (naturally occurring or self originated).[1] The temple has seven small independent pillars in front of the Vishnu shrine and when struck they produce 'saptaswara' (the seven musical notes).[3] The gopurams of the temple are unfinished and were described by architectural historian James Anderson as ‘wonders’.[4]
