Telugu,
a Dravidian language is spoken mainly in the southern Indian state of Andhra
Pradesh. The actual land of Telugu people is bounded by three mountains
Kalesvara, Srisaila, and Bhimeshvara that form the geographical boundary of
Telugu region, where it is believed Lord Shiva descended. Thus, the word
“Telugu”, many claim is derived from the word “trilinga”, which is
synonymous with Lord Shiva.
