Recherla Rudra, a Kakatiya general, commissioned the temple in 1213, and it was built over about 40 years under King Ganapatideva. It is named for its architect or sculptor, Ramappa, which the article says makes it the only temple in India named after its craftsman. The article calls the style Kakatiya, blending Dravidian and Chalukyan elements. The vimana has five stories on a star-shaped base set on a platform about 6 feet high.
The main structure is pink sandstone, while dolerite was used for carvings and load-bearing pillars. The article also describes the stone as granite and dolerite elsewhere. Lightweight "floating" bricks, made with clay, karea gum, jute and rice husks, are less dense than water and lighten the vimana. A sand-cushion foundation is said to absorb seismic loads.
About 600 dance-related sculptures decorate it. UNESCO listed the temple on July 25, 2021. The article gives no overall dimensions or visiting hours.
