This is one of the most beautiful temple in the State of Telangana. The temple is located on a hillock near Wargal village and has a calm vibe and scenic view from the top of the hill. The multi-level temple can be seen from far away. This place is mostly visited by devotees for Aksharabhyasam. On normal days, one can have a pleasant and peaceful dharshan. However, on special days, the temple is very crowded and disorganized. The priest who performed our Aksharabhyasam was cheerful and kept the session lively. He was attentive to individuals even though he was doing it for a group. He made everyone feel involved and explained most of the process. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for the staff. They seem to be money-minded and often come across as trying to scam you. For example, when we entered the temple premises, the attendant at the entrance forced us to buy life maintenance tickets claiming that there were no steps to reach the top level. However, later we noticed that a few regulars were using stairs to get to the point where we ended up. The attendant outright lied to us and made us pay for something we didn't want. Additionally, the lady at the top level was overselling tickets for Pooja. I understand that the amount goes for donation towards the temple, but she made it sound like it was mandatory to buy the tickets. The Annaprasadham is free, but you must collect a token before exiting the temple premises. I felt that the service at the temple could be better. I believe that the volunteers who provide the service could be more kind and helpful. The toilets at the temple are not free. You will be charged a fee to use them. I would advise you not to buy pooja materials from the vendors who follow you in the parking lot. They may offer the materials for less than the store, but you may end up not having all of the items you need for the pooja. I would also suggest that you do not follow the vendors' directions to the temple. They may try to manipulate you into getting out of your car at their stall and buying things you do not need. Instead, I would recommend that you continue driving until you see the signs for the parking lot. Then, you can proceed directly to the temple. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my visit this time, I was really impressed by the beauty and serenity of the temple. I particularly enjoyed the puja ceremony. It was a very spiritual experience, and I felt a sense of peace and tranquility. I would highly recommend everyone to visit your temple and seek blessings.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Peaceful Darshan at Wargal Temple, but Parking & Safety Need Improvement Hi all! I recently visited Sri Vidya Saraswathi Shani Temples, Wargal along with my father, mother, younger sister, and our lovely pet dog Sweety (Indian Pomeranian). This visit was part of our trip to Sri Raja Rajeshwara Swami Temple - Vemulawada, and we made a stop at Wargal temple on the way. 🙏 Darshan Experience: The darshan (దర్శనం) was very peaceful and spiritually fulfilling. The temple's architecture is beautiful, and its elevated structure gives it a divine presence. The steps leading up are quite steep, but the climb feels worth it once you reach the sanctum. 🌳 Parking Concerns: However, I did face a minor issue with the parking area. Some security personnel were allowing vehicles to go closer to the temple, while others were not — which felt a bit inconsistent. I had to park down the hill, where there was no proper shed or tree cover. This becomes a problem especially when you have pets or elderly people in the car. I request the temple management to consider planting trees — not just for vehicles but for devotees to rest and eat, as many families bring homemade food and prefer sitting under shade (a very Indian tradition!). 🕉️ Religious Observations: One more concern — I’ve noticed recently (including at this temple), that priests are not placing the Shatagopuram on devotees' heads unless money is offered. This is not in alignment with Sanatana Dharma (సనాతన ధర్మం) and must be addressed. Spiritual blessings should never be conditional. 🐾 Special note: I really appreciate that we could bring our pet along, and I hope more religious places become pet-aware and inclusive. 🌸 Lotus Pond Concern: They also have a beautiful lotus pond, but sadly, it’s maintained in a very careless way. The fencing is broken on one side, which is a serious safety hazard — especially for children, elderly, or even animals. If someone slips due to parental negligence or poor maintenance, it could lead to a tragic accident. I strongly urge the temple authorities to fix the fence and add warning signs immediately. ✅ Overall: A divine temple with serene energy, but needs serious attention in terms of parking, safety, and religious discipline. With a few improvements, this can become one of the most ideal temples for family visits.

Absolutely celestial place. It's a huge temple and beautiful in middle of village. The place is for Hindu Goddess Sarawathi who is known for blessing kids for their education. So you will find lot of families with their kids for a ceremony of 'Aksharabhyasam', which is first time kids will write alphabets. The temple also has Valli Devasena Sametha Subrahmanya Swamy Temple, Shaneshwara Temple, Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy Temple and of course Sarawathi Devi Temple. There is a lift option where probably elders can take who cannot walk. Else I will highly recommend you take few steps. If you take lift you will directly go to Saraswathi Devi Darshan and you will miss Subrahmanya Swamy Temple. Venkateswara Swamy Temple is totally separate one and a little away from Main Temple. Renovation and Reconstruction is happening when we visited. But it was absolutely a trip/drive worth it. Fortunately the weather was too good that day, which helped and really made the whole experience surreal. If you visiting this temple, don't miss Kondapochamma Sagar which is may be a 30-45min drive. Very good road, long drive with family or friends to make it a memorable one. Just if possible cook and take some food with you, as it's a challenge to find good spots for food. Else if you are someone who is ready to take a chance, all the best... Hope you will find something... Have a safe trip and Happy Darshan... 👍😊

Sri Vidya Saraswati Temple, located in Wargal village in Telangana state is the only temple, other than Saraswati temple of Baasar, Telangana., People come here with children for "Aksharabhyasam" (initiation of studies by first writing in the temple) , before the Goddess Saraswati. You also have Lord Shani temple in the precincts. The temple is open all days. The facilities include Parking Place for vehicles, shoe rack to keep your footwear, lift for the senior citizen/disabled (charge is ₹5/-per person per way), food prasadam at lunch time (10.a.m. to 12.30p.m.). Don't forget to take the token for free Annaprasadam (meals), when getting down the stairs after the Darshan, otherwise you will be left empty-handed in the meals section. You can donate for the Annaprasadam, as per your wishes. (You will get receipt in the administration office).You can also book sevas' at the office of the temple management. They will perform sevas even in your absence, till the time period paid for. Also, a complex is being built (slabs done), for amenities and stay. You may donate generously for the construction You also have a park near the parking, for resting, after the darshan of Goddess. Beware of the old ladies (in groups) near the parking, who pester you for money, till you end up paying. But, otherwise, you will enjoy the outing and spiritual peace at the temple.

We went to this temple on Kanuma day which is a day after Sankranthi. This place is nearly 1hr: 15min from Kukatpally (KPHB) by Cab. As it was during Sankranthi holidays, there was very less crowd. The Sanctum Sanctorium is a place designed high above on a Hill structure. So people have to walk up the steps from the Road to the Main entrance and again upto the above floors to see the Main Deity, Vidya Saraswathi Goddess in the Temple. But at the ground level of the temple premises, we have a lift and can pay Rs.10/- per person to reach 2nd floor directly. Also, after Darshan and puja there, people can go down through the steps on the left gate to reach Lakshmi Ganapathi Temple, and further down Shani God Temple and again further down Valli Devasena Sahitha Subrahmanyeswara Swamy Temple. After coming out of that premises, One can see Lord Venkateswara Swamy temple premises on the right side. All the above mentioned Gods and Goddesses are so graceful including Shani God. The Idols are carved out so well and after lot of Pujas, these idols have the grace and glow with strong attractive features. All in all, a beautiful place and must visit for children to get blessings of Goddess Saraswathi. But caution for people with lot of leg pains, back pains, Knee pains.. please avoid straining yourself and look for easier ways.

This is a very simple and not that crowdy temple of Mata Saraswati. I loved the atmosphere and location since its in and around green fields with fresh air. It has ample 4 wheeler parking with no parking fee. No Darshan ticket and no Prasad required in the temple. Don't take flowers or coconut inside as the Panditji doesn't accept it. There is specific ticket for Archana/specific Pooja which you can take at round about entrance enquiry office of the temple. This is paid for some nominal fee as per the Pooja offered. There are two other temples within the vicinity; Lord Kartikey and Venkatesh Swamy newly built. Very peaceful place. Must go.... Somethings to be careful of: Entrance inside the temple is still under construction from about 1 year now. Mata temple is at 3rd floor which devotees need to walk all stairs. They are charging Rs 10 per person for the lift usage. I think devotees safety should be priortized and some cleanliness of water construction debris should be cleaned oftenly with some signages. There are a lot of people who will ask money who are actually local resident nearby and they expect Rs >10 and above. There is only one shoe stand which is too small to manage the foot fall. Hope this information helps devotees who are planning to visit. Jai Mata di !
