Kaleshwarm is on south bank of river Godavari. It is considered as Triveni Sangamam of South India where Godavari, Pranahita and Antarvahini from Sri Mukteshwara Temple meet.
Once it was a dense forest without any facility locally. TTD has lodging facility and for food you can talk to temple pujari, who would guide you to best possible option for food, but for non-vegetarian is still a problem.
Travel facility: Buses from Karimnagar, Manthani, Godavarikhani, Warangal.

The ancient temple dedicated to Mukteshwara swamy is of special significance as two Shivalinga's are found on a single pedestal. Besides several temples situated here the one dedicated to Brahma is rather uncommon Dharmapuri Travel Information On the banks of River Godavari, 78 Kms from Karimnagar, is the 15th century temple town of Dharmapuri. According to the legend king Bali Verma performed the Dharma Devta Yagna. He wanted all his people to follow and live according to Dharma. Hence this village got its name as Dharmapuri.
