Speaking on the occasion, Reddy said that temples from Kashmir to Kanyakumari were destroyed during the Middle Ages.
''The Tughlaq army destroyed the Ramappa temple and Warangal fort. Almost 132 pillars were used in the renovated Kalyana mandapam. The sculptural art of the Kakatiyas was amazing. Need to protect those structures,'' he added.
