Yaganti Uma Maheshwara Temple.
Outside the Belum + Gandikota tourist loop; the geological Nandi-growth is locally famous but rarely flagged on package tours. Erramala access via Banaganapalle is on a smaller road.WHY NOBODY KNOWS
15th c. Vijayanagara-era cave temple to Shiva-Parvati at the base of the Erramala hills. Three cave shrines — Agastya, Venkateswara, and Veera Brahmam — plus a Nandi monolith that ASI geologists confirm has measurably grown over the last century (the surface limestone accretes; a 1990 ASI survey vs 2018 resurvey showed 5cm growth). Pushkarini tank fed by a perennial spring at the rear of the temple. Open 6am-7pm. Free entry.
