Recharla Rudra with Reddy

It seems like someone's bigoted view to add the word Reddy to Recharla Rudra Deva implying current caste affiliation. It does not say that on the temple inscriptions or the wording used by the authorities in the description at the temple. Do not bring in the bigoted views of caste into a wonderful monument's description.

I've tried searching for RS, but I could only find one , while all other RS refer him without Reddy. Although and talk about descendant and father respectively with Reddy as suffix to their names. What should we do? -- DaxServer (talk) 08:34, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

UNESCO description and several book sources mention it as "Recharla Rudra" and almost nothing with Recharla Rudra Reddy. So we should probably stick to that. -- Ab207 (talk) 08:50, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

Recharla kings used reddy as suffix , so we should probably add the reddy suffix. Geneology recharla reddis — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shreyas69 (talk • contribs) 20:24, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

When most of the reliable sources are not using it, it should be avoided per WP:NPOV. -- Ab207 (talk) 21:01, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

What is a reliable source according to you?Shreyas69 (talk) 17:33, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

@Shreyas69 You may read what reliable sources are here: Wikipedia:Reliable sources and Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources. All the sources must pass Wikipedia:Verifiability. Hope it helps. -- DaxServer (talk) 17:37, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

Hello, SuperSonic54. Please seek consensus before adding Reddy as plenty of reliable sources, including the UNESCO description call him just "Recherla Rudra." There's no apparent reason why this source that misspells the name should take precedence over the others. -- Ab207 (talk) 07:19, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Only one PROOF worth to prove is his father name being KataReddy and his grandfather name being Kamareddi. Also please read the history of Nameshwara, Erakeshwara, Betheshwara temples built by Recherla Reddys in Pillalamarri Suryapeta. Recherla Rudra Reddy belongs to the same family. Even if you can't digest the facts, they don't change. Please don't distort Telangana history. UNESCO and internet additions came later. Looks like people are narrow minded and cannot accept he is Reddy. Read the history, his family tree, research papers. Please don't apply current casteist ideologies to historical persons who did great works. You can't deny the fact that he is Recherla Rudra Reddy and he was, is will be forever Reddy same like Sardar Sarvai Papanna Goudu RRTSBharat (talk) 10:24, 28 November 2025 (UTC)

Irrespective of whether he belonged to your caste or not, there are exactly 0 results on Google books and Scholar for "Recherla Rudra Reddy". You are anachronistically using an alleged caste name as the last name. utcursch | talk 15:01, 29 December 2025 (UTC)

@Utcursch If he is other caste also I would have mentioned the same. Your deep narrow mindedness is shown by using the phrase "your caste". Why do you apply current casteist ideologies to people of 12 th century? For God sake, read some research articles, books etc. Google and so called scholar came later.Buy some books and read first. I have 2-3 books which mention him as Reddy. Read the book by Avala Buchi Reddy. You won't read because you won't agree the fact. In 1900s and 1800s people used to rely on physical thesis, articles and books. As per the same wikipedia, it's mentioned his other name is Rudrireddi and his father name is Katreddi. But you are not able to digest the fact to call his name as Recherla Rudra Reddy. Keep your narrow mind and casteism away from history. I am always proud to refer Ilamma as Chakali Ilamma, Papanna as Sardar Sarvai Papanna Goudu, Rudrudu as Recherla Rudra Reddy. RRTSBharat (talk) 04:49, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

Please see WP:RS. Avala Buchi Reddy's book seems to be self-published, and does not qualify as a relable source -- he was an "architect and environment designer", not a qualified historian. Google Scholar and Books do catalog peer-reviewed 'physical' articles and books from the 1900s and 1800s. Try Wikipedia:Requested moves, if you would like the article name to be change. utcursch | talk 14:40, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

Looks like you don't know Telugu. Avala Buchi Reddy is a వాస్తుశిల్పి and చరిత్ర పరిశోధకులు(History Researcher). What about this fact then..As per the same wikipedia and other Google scholar, it's mentioned his other name is Rudrireddi, his father name is Katareddi and his grandfather name is Kamareddi. No one is changing the name of a person here. Just adding the full name. Why do you have a problem calling him as Recherla Rudra Reddy infact he is Reddy according to his family, lineage and history. Read some history of Suryapeta Pillalamarri temples built by same Recherla family. You don't read any books, neither know TG history and Telugu culture. Just want to blindly stick to your point that he should be Recherla Rudra. At the end of the day I really don't care if you don't agree, but you can't deny the historical fact that he is Reddy. When Telangana people are proud to call Ilamma as Veeranari Chakali Ilamma, Papanna as Sardar Sarvai Papanna Goudu and Recherla Rudrudu as Recherla Rudra Reddy, let them be as they are. Between use Google, scholar and Gemini without filters then it will show you that he is Reddy only. RRTSBharat (talk) 07:04, 4 January 2026 (UTC)

Modern Ramappa

During the period of kakatiya dynasty, King Ganapathi deva built Ramappa temple in the year 1213AD. Ramappa temple got heritage site status for its unique culture and architecture.By survey of recent data piligrims and local village people's said, the total value and importance, management and the many other thing's going well in the view of government monuments conservation scheme. India president smt. Droupadimurmu, who's from santhali tribe, Mayurbanj. Odisha state, visited Ramappa temple, after getting heritage site status. The main attraction from the hole temple is Architecture. The way choose by sculpture Ramappa,who's the key person named to this temple, was incredible. For your kind information this is the only temple with sculptures name. And notable thing here is floating bricks, however there many assumptions to proove this floating bricks. Many people argue that during kakatiyas lakes were so pure and unpolluted, this bricks were highly floated. But now a days it seems different. The gardens developed on the surroundings of the monument was eye feasting environment. Management and Municipality are taking many initiatives to make clean and green program implementation. Like carrying plastic, flower, coconuts etc.. Into the premises of temple are prohibited. Saikrishna Nandyala (talk) 05:56, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

Undocumented warrior carving near the grabhagriha

Undocumented warrior carving near the grabhagriha

Hello, I recently visited Ramappa temple (UNESCO site) and discovered a unique, undocumented wall carving located very close to the garbhagriha (inner sanctum). It depicts a warrior holding a sheild with a symbol similar to Union jack, a sword and a beanie-like helmet, and prominent facial features that doesn't match traditional kaktiya or Indin iconography.

I have documented this with photographs and published an article about the observation here. https://medium.com/@aravindrca71/by-aravind-sunkari-heritage-explorer-telangana-india-2775c88fa0e4

I believe this carving may represent early contact or awareness of foreign figures by local sculptors.I would appreciate help reviewing this and advice on whether it qualifies as notable or citable for inclusion.
