GAMALAPADU ANICIENT SIVALAYAM OF 11TH CENTURY (in ruins)

ANICIENT SIVALAYAM
11TH CENTURY

In History in 1182AD  Palanati yuddam was fought between Bramhanaidu and Nayakuralu Nagamma the ministers serving the respective Kings.  Nayakuralu Nagamma was a native of Gamalapadu village which is just 2kms before  present day  Dachepalli.

Letter of TTD dt 1-6-2006

Nayakuralu Nagamma has built a Sivalayam during the period and it has been awfully neglected partly because it was built by infamous Nagamma.  There is no reason for the diety and the temple to be ignored and left to get ruined for 800 years just like that.  Archeology department of Government of India  has the responsibility to restore and rennovate such ancient temples. 

Search internet revealed did show a document from TTD (Thirmala Thirupati Devastanam Chairman) dt 1-6-2006 that  

Resolved to renovate the following ancient temples with the Financial Assistance of TTD

ANOTHER VIEW

Seeing the present status of the temple in the potographs it is obvious that TTD did not really implement their own decision to renovate the ancient temple at Gamalapadu.
