It is one of its kinds. Venkateswara Swamy Temple located at Jillelaguda, Hyderabad, has many salient features. Over 500-yrs old temple has the Moola Viraat (Presiding Deity) in unique style and form.

The Presiding Deity has the tale of Matsya Avatara Vishnu, the body of Lord Venkateswara and the head in the form of Lingam (Lord Shiva). The moola viraat itself represents the Advaita Philosophy of Hinduism and the unity and integrity of Shaivism and the Vaishnavism. Due to this the temple is also known as Harihara Kshetram.
