The 12th century Kasi Visweswara Swamy temple was attacked recently where miscreants had damaged the Nandi idol. There have been several such attacks in recent days.
Earlier this month, a 62-years old temple chariot located inside the Sri Lakshmi Narasimha temple in East Godavari district's Antarvedi was gutted in fire.
The police officials also said that three assailants attacked the temple's head priest Sankaranand Saraswati and his assistant. The attackers then ran away with valuables worth Rs 6,800.
