Killa Nallagonda of the fighting

The Nizam is the district of Nalgonda who fought against the heroes, the guns, the guns, the villagers against

the heroic, pacific and aggressive actions. Nalgonda has been fighting for the sleep of the Nizam in the heart of

the movement, Nallam Mushtaqalapati is the first to fight the climax of the fighters born in Nallagonda

district.

The British rule of Ravi‟s unseen and the Nizam, Nawab was declared a liberator of the Nation, and the

violence against the Telangana people. Many people have become victims of exploitation, violence, and

illegality. Nizam has been stuck in the clutches. It was difficult for the troubles to wake up when the wings

were tied to the wings. Jagirdars, Deshmukh, Deshpande and Surdhevakmu have been scattered by the people

of Nizam. The interest was paid to the jewelery and the compounded by the crowd and peeling people.

Besides, Nizam made up of his police and made 50,000 Razakars with Kasim Razvi to leave the people. All of

them were robbed of the village villagers and continued their looting. Resistance has been sacrificed to

gunpowder. Many leaders have been prepared for armed confrontation in order to ward off such a miserable

Nizam regime. First of all, Lakshmi Narsinhareddy, Arutra Ranchandreddy, 1935, who was active in the

Andhra Congress in the Nalgonda District, had organized anti-Jagirish struggles in the 36 years. Dispute

movements were directed to pay taxes. The Nizam government was arrested under the treasonous crimes

against Bellam Kondayya, who was accused of rape against the Razakars, but many cases were filed against

Bellam Kondayya and Ranchandra Reddy Madipapri Reddy. Their struggle was inspired by the unrestrained

shackles. The Andhra Mahasabha chaired by Ravi Narayan Reddy made a revolutionary decision not to pay

the land bill. In addition, the Communists were able to enter the field and help the people. The angry Razakaris

with these resolutions shot people who did not pay taxes. Women are shattered. The Suryapet Taluk Balam

village was attacked by two Communist activists to suppress public movements. In 1946, he attacked the old

sriapapattai and killed the sarasani nursea. More than 390 farmers have been killed by police on Devaruppala,

Kamareddygudem and Puligadda Mallaradedugodendam. 64 women were trapped. Four thousand farmers

were arrested in this incident. Ravi Narayana Reddy, Baddam Ellareddy and Mukhtam Moeyunuddin of the

Communist Party called for armed struggle to end the Nizam regime in September 1947 to face these

grievances. Party mechanisms were developed into secret techniques and made strategies for fighting.

Guerrilla forces were built and attacked. Guerrilla troops have been ruled by villages. 10-12 lakh acres of land

owned by the jaggars were distributed to the public. Nizam‟s pirates were recovered and distributed to the

public. Women also called for the fight against the „Goli koduko kuduko najam cirrrota‟ under the golconda

Nalgonda District Economy INTRODUCTION The importance and significance of gross root level planning and decentralized planning at Mandal level is being increased day by day, and to prepare the decentralized planning, it is very essential to have proper data on various development indicators. Among them, estimates of Mandal Domestic Product or Mandal income are one of the core indicators. The Mandal Per Capita Income estimate helps the planners to compare among inter Mandal variations, which helps to examine the Mandal disparities and to prepare proper plans for the development of the Micro Level (i.e. Mandal Level). With gradual improvement in the availability of the basic data over the years, a comprehensive review of methodology for Mandal income has constantly been under taken with a view to update the data base.

CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS

Mandal Domestic Product (MDP) is defined as the sum of the economic value of all goods and services

produced or rendered within the specific geographical boundaries of the Mandal without duplication

during a specified period of time, usually a year.

ECONOMIC SECTORS In order to estimate the Mandal Domestic Product, the economy is broadly categorized into three sectors.

Mandal Income Estimates are prepared at current prices with new base year 2011-12. The Mandal Domestic Product Estimates at Current Prices are obtained by the goods and services produced during the year 2015- 16.Apart from the Agriculture Sector and Manufacturing Sector, the availability of Mandal level data in respect of other sectors is inadequate. Maiden attempt is made on pilot basis to calculate the Mandal level Domestic Product (MDP). These estimates for the year are purely provisional and will be revised as and when more reliable and firm data is available.

Animal Husbandry

INTRODUCTION

Since time immemorial Human Prosperity is linked with the livestock wealth. It has been rightly said by late U.N.Dhebar that “To think of Rural Development without Livestock Improvement is to think of Modern Industrialization without Power Stations”.

Andhra Pradesh has some of the richest livestock resources in the Country and is one of the most advanced States in Animal Husbandry activities.The Livestock play a vital role in Socio-economic and cultural life of our people.

During the year 1892, Civil Veterinary Department was established in the composite Madras State to provide Veterinary Aid to the needy farmers. Subsequently after Independence, C.V.D was renamed as Animal Husbandry Department (1948), with the main objective of treatment and prevention of diseases in livestock. Initially the emphasis was on health care only, but subsequently several schemes have been taken up for overall growth of livestock sector.

ANIMAL HEALTH NETWORK:

Over the last five decades, the animal health sector has untiringly worked to lay strong foundation of effective animal health network to facilitate animal production to take off. Since the formation of Andhra Pradesh and with the advent of five year plans, rapid strides were made in the animal health care by opening number of veterinary institutions in remote areas in the State.

In the beginning of the Ist Five Year Plan there were barely 8-10 Veterinary Institutions in each district and about 200 Institutions in the entire State providing Veterinary Aid covering about 60-70 thousand cattle units under each institution. The health care facilities have increased during the subsequent plan periods resulting in a phenomenal growth of Veterinary Institutions from 285 during 1956-57 to 5013 during 2005-06. The cattle units covered now by each graduate institution is about 10,000 and by including Rural Livestock Units the coverage goes down to 4730 each.

At present Veterinary Health cover is provided by 5013 field Veterinary Institutions comprising of 22 Veterinary Poly Clinics at District level manned by Deputy Directors as referral District hospitals providing specialized services in Gynecology, Surgery and Medicine with X-ray and inpatient facilities, 281Taluk level Veterinary Hospitals manned by Assistant Directors, 1794 Veterinary Dispensaries manned by Veterinary Assistant Surgeons and 2916 Rural Livestock Units at Village level manned by Para Vets are functioning.

There are 22 Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratories are functioning, one each at district headquarters with facilities for disease investigation, quick diagnosis and for mapping out diseases to render timely and effective control measures. These are the district referral laboratories for effective diagnosis and vaccine distribution work.

FLORIDE MONITORING

Fluorosis, a public health problem is caused by excessive intake of fluoride through drinking water

(and other sources) over a long period. It results in significant health issues like dental fluorosis, skeletal

fluorosis and non-skeletal fluorosis. Over 19 Lakh population of Nalgonda are at risk because of the high

concentration of fluoride found in ground water. About 1108 habitations were severely affected. In this

regard, the District Administration has taken severally measures to mitigate the problem of fluorosis. In this

regard, the District Fluoride Monitoring Centre [DFMC] was established in November 14, 2013 is a unique

initiative by the District Administration, Nalgonda to bring convergence and facilitate inter-departmental

10/18/2019

coordination of mitigation and prevention of fluorosis in the district through concerted efforts and integration

of resources. UNICEF has been involved in strengthening DFMC ever since its inception by extending

technical and financial support as required planning and implementing the action plans and building capacities

of functionaries.

The DFMC is a unique model and a pilot project in the entire country itself. Though about 125 districts in 22

states are affected with fluorosis problem in the country, there has never been any such Centre as DFMC

elsewhere except Nalgonda to bring forward such concerted efforts through convergence approach for

prevention and mitigation of fluorosis.As mentioned, DFMC has had quite a consistent impact since its

inception.

Places of Interest

Pachala Someswar Temple

Pachala Someshwara Alayam

The ancient temple looks very casual from the outside, but once you step in the architecture tells you the actual

story. The temple has 70 pillars with intricate carvings depicting stories of Vishnu and Shiva. Main shrine is

dedicated to Shiva who is in the form of Linga made out of Green Onyx stone, hence the name Pachhala

Someswara. There is huge beautifully carved Nandi who seems to come to life any moment. There is an

archaeological museum on the site and many ruins around. The temple architecture is worth the visit.

There are three famous and historic temples which are located in Panagal town. These are Pachala Someswara

Swamy Temple, Lord Venkateswara Temple and Chaya Someswara Temple. Among these Pachala

Someswara Temple is of great significance from architectural and sculptural point of view. Panagal is located

nearly 4 km from the district headquarters of Nalgonda and is well accessible by road.

The ground plan of Pachala Someswara temple is markedly different from other shrines in Telangana. It has

four shrines and these shrines are arranged three on the western side while there is only one on the eastern side

with a common and large rectangular mandapam. The historic temple represents the rich legacy of Panagal

region in Nalgonda district with its finest sculptural works.

Locals throng the temple during festival occasions From the inscriptional evidence found at Panagal and

architectural style of the temple it is dated back to 11th-12th Century AD. The other ruins located close by and

the sculptures are highlights of this temple which shows the glory of ancient dynasties which ruled the region,

and their patronage towards religion

Sri Meenakshi Agasteswara Swamy Temple

This temple is located at the confluence of River Krishna and Musi (Muchikunda) at Wadapally village.

Wadapally was earlier known as Wazeerabad. This is situated at a distance of 25 km from Miryalaguda and 70

Km from Nalgonda and 170 km from Hyderabad. The nearest Railway station is Vishnupuri (6km) between

Bibinagar- Nadikudi Railway stations. This is an ancient Siva Temple with a huge Siva Lingam of 6000 years

old. The Lingam was installed by sage Agasthya. Siva and Maa Parvathi are worshipped here as

Agastheeshwara and Meenakshi. The Temple was built in 12 th century by Kakatiya rulers. It attracts large

number of devotees in karteeka month and on Shivaratri days.

SPECIALITY:

There is a crevice at the top of Siva Linga. This is always with full of water and even on removal it maintains

the same level. There is no logical explanation for this phenomenon as the temple is located at a height of

about 120 metres from the river water level. Priests show this phenomenon also explains sthala purana as

under

STHALA PURANA:

For thousands of years the Temple remained in dense forest. Once a hunter was chaging a bird and the bird hid

behind the Siva Linga to save its life. Lord Siva appeared before the hunter and asked him not to kill the bird

and offered him to take his brain and the hunter inserted his fingures on the head of the Linga for the purpose

and in the process the crevice was caused.

The Temple opens at 6:30 am and closes by 7.30 pm. In between also closed for a few hours from noon.

Sthala Puranam (Temple in the legends) The Maha Kshetram is in the midst of a dense and lovely forest, which instills awe

and inspiration in the minds of the visiting pilgrims. In one of the caves adjoining the

pilgrim town, the image of the Lord has been radiating glory from times immemorial.

Legend had it that Sri Bharadwaaja Maharshi worshipped this deity everyday

accompanied by several other sages. In those unknown times, only sages and gods

could worship the self revealed images of Narasimha in the cave. Later the sages who

had the welfare of this world at their heart, decided to throw open this holy place to

the common man. An auspicious time for it came in Kali Yuga.The deity was

revealed in a dream to the devotee Sri Anumala Machireddi, the ruler of Thangeda

which is 3 km off Mattapalli on the opposite bank of the Krishna river. The Lord

wished Machireddi to reveal his image for the good of the mankind during Kali

Yuga. The ruler accompanied by his pandits, searched all the caves on the banks of

river Krishna, as ordained by the Lord, but could not trace the location of the deity.

Sad and depressed, he fell asleep in the forest. Again the Lord appeared in his dream

and ordained him to search further, in a designated area near an "Aare" tree hidden

behind the foliage in a cave. Waking up, the ruler found the cave and the image of the

Lord in a seated posture, with the wellspread hood of Sesha over his head, fully

adorned with Shankha Chakra Gadha and as if the Lord was being worshipped

regularly, with flowers, sacred leaves, fruits etc. Overjoyed, the ruler revealed the

Maha Kshetram to the general public and constructed a Mukhaalaya.

More about Sri Anumala Machireddy The name and fame of Machireddi has lived down to this day and we still see his

benevolence and benefaction inscribed in the golden kalasams in the Siva temple of

Srisailam,and others like Kasi Visheswara, Lord Gopala in Thangeda etc.However

the fort of Thangeda is now in ruins.

An incident in history Chennuri Sri Narasimha Rao, Chairman of the temple committee, said that one "

Chennuri Giramma", belonging to his great-grand-forefathers was an ardent devotee

of Sri Mattapalli Narasimha. She lived during the period of the Mughal emperor

Aurangazeb. When Mughal forces were to attack the temple, she prayed to the Lord

to dispell the danger. Then the Lord created countless bees which attacked and drove

the Mughal soldiers away. Their attempt to capture this temple proved a futile

exercise. However there is no historic recorded information to support this.

Description of the Garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) : There is a rock above the door to the sanctum sanctorum. On it is the sculptured motif

of Gaja Lakshmi with two elephants raising their trunks upwards on either side. The

sanctum is a cave. The roof of the Garbhagriha is a big rock.

The Lord manifested Himself on a rock, which is on the backside of the Garbhagriha.

Another rock is spread like the hood of Sesha over it. The Lord is 1 foot in height.

Seated in Padmasana, He holds, Chakra in His upper right hand and Sankha in His

upper left hand. He has kept His lower left hand on His left knee, and His lower right

hand is not visible. On the left side of the Lord, ther are decorated three Namams (

Thirumann ), and two eyes, which are considered as the form of Prahlada, the ardent

devotee of the Lord. There is a small lengthy rectangular rock of about 1 foot length

at the feet of the Lord. The rock is said to be "Chakri", an ardent devotee of the Lord

who was not given mukti when he requested for the same because the Lord did not

want to be separated from him. So he was made into a rock like form and placed in

the sanctum. Daily the abhishekam is performed to this rock also.

To the left of the manifested Lord, there is a black, stone image of Lakshmi which is

1.5 feet in height, in a sitting posture on a lotus. She holds lotus flowers in her upper

hands. Her lower right hand is in Abhaya posture and the left hand is in Suchi

posture. Below the Lakshmi image, there is another image of Lakshmi, which is

carved on a rock. As Lakshmi is not visible to the visitors, the image of Rajya

Lakshmi is installed for the 'darsan' of the devotees. It was consecrated in 1975. She

holds chakra in her upper right hand and Sankha in her left hand. She holds lotus

buds in her lower hands. She is in sitting posture. She is 1.25 feet in height. She

wears a makuta on Her head.

Before the presiding deity, at a lower level, the utsava idols of the Lord are installed.

There are also copper images of Sudarsana, Nammazhwar and another Azhwar.

face east. There is a trench on the left side of the Lord at some distance in the cave,

which it is believed to lead to the river Krishna through an underground passage.

Description of the temple The sanctum faces the west. The mukhamantapam has 21 pillars with a cement roof.

Before the Vaikunta dvaara ( North door ) there is a mantapa with five pillars with a

cement roof. It was built in 1973-75. It measures 21feet X 18 feet. The

mukhamantapam before the sanctum measures 24feet X 45 feet. The height of the

mukhamantapam is about 20feet. As there is no convenience to go around the

sanctum, the devotees perform circumambulation ( pradakshinam ) around the

Dhwajasthambha and the stone image of Hanuman which faces the Lord. There is a

Ramanuja Kutam ( Madapalli or kitchen ) to the north of the temple in the same

premises where in, the naivedya to the Lord is prepared.

There is an entrance to the temple which faces the south. There is a fleet of steps

leading down to the river Krishna just outside the main temple but within the

compound.

Devarakonda Fort

Devarakonda Fort

Devarakonda which is as Mandal Headquarters, is a tiny village situated in Nalgonda district. The Devarakonda village is home to one of the most astonishing forts found in Telangana. The village attracts many tourists from over the world. There was a time when the fort stood high in place flaunting the glory of the village, but now due to negligence, the fort is in ruins.

For people who love to explore the chronicles of the state, then the Devarakonda Fort must have place in your to-visit list. A visit into this spectacular fort is like stepping in to a historical trance with every corner of the fort unveiling the great tales of bravery, of struggles and of the triumph of its rulers. In the premises of fort stand the Rama and Shiva temples constructed by Maada Naidu. These temples add a hint of spirituality and purity to the untouched beauty of the fort. The people visiting the fort area also treated by the nature with a picturesque view of a little pond present in it.

The fort was constructed in the 13th – 14th century. The Devarakonda fort is the emblem of prosperity established by the kingdom of Padma Nayaka Veluma Rajas. The fort was the heart of one and slave of none, as it was ruled by Padma Nayaka Veluma Raja since the year 1278 to 1482 AD.

Later, the Devarakonda fort was conquered by Maada Naidu who belonged to the eight kings of the Padma Nayaka rulers. Maada Naidu was a prodigy and a brave warrior besides being a great ruler. It was during Maada Naidu‟s rule that the fort took the shape of a well established centre of cultural heritage and several temples were built. Maada Naidu was the man behind the many brilliant changes done to attribute to the wonders of this fort. Amongst the many things added to the fort is the astonishing way of stairs that will take you to Patala ganga that is situated in Srisailam. Maada Naidu was a great ruler who cared for his pupil.

After Maada Naidu, the strings of the flourishing Devarakonda Kingdom went into the hands of Maada Naidu‟s son, Pedha Vedagiri Naidu. Vedagiri Naidu was also a brave king who had established his throne for around 26 years. Vedagiri Naidu had added an extra charm to the kingdom.

Rachakonda Fort

Telangana region is the home of the incredible Rachakonda Fort. The fort stands as a glorious demonstration of the Vemula rulers and their power. The fort is currently in ruins. However, this epitome of the marveling medieval Hindu art and culture still attracts scores of people. Another striking feature of this temple is that it perfectly adheres to the principles of Vasthu Shastra, which influences most of the Hindu architectures.

Rachakonda Fort

The Velama rulers, the kings who built this small but very strong Rachakonda fort, had established their throttlehold over the Telangana region after the Kakatiyas and before the Bahamani era.

The fort is built in two floors. The fort displays a breath taking view of the entire city, when you stand at the fort‟s South East corner. The entrance of the Rachakonda fort serves as an outstanding example of monolith pillars. The uniqueness of this fort lies in its construction; it has been built without using any mortar in cyclopean masonry. The fort is also adored with beams and lintels with enthralling rock cut walls. Each and every inch of this fort provides plenty of fodder to feed the high appetite of history lovers.

Rachkonda Fort

The history of the Rachakonda fort is intricately woven with the history of the velama rulers. According to the legend, the Velama rulers were wrapped in pride and believed that they were invincible. This increasing pride made them impose several carnages on their people. Women were humiliated the most, and one such woman, cursed the rulers of facing failure in their objectives and then turned herself in to a stone. It is believed that this curse brought their downfall. The stone figure is still found in the fort premises.

Pillalamarri Temple Suryapet –1000 years old Temple of Lord Shiva

The Pillalamarri Temple of Suryapet (Telangana state) is dated back to almost 1000 years and is

considered to be one of the oldest ancient temples in Nalgonda District of Telangana state.

Dedicated to Lord Shiva, it is located in Pillalamarri village in the Suryapet town. Historically

significant as the gateway of Telangana, Suryapet town is located on the National Highway 9

between Hyderabad and Vijaywada. In addition to the Pillalamarri temple, the village also

houses several other ancient temples built during the Kakatiya period. This helps to enhance the

historical and religious value of the village.

Built on the banks of the Musi River, the temple belonged to the Kakatiya era and stands

testimony to the architectural craftsmanship displayed by the Kakatiya rulers. It houses

beautifully carved pillars and walls where each intricate sculpture is poetry in stone. Beautiful

paintings are also found to adorn the walls of the temple. A grand and regal Nandi bull is seen

gracing its portals. The detailing in the architecture is an indication of the touch of excellence

which the craftsmen of the Kakatiya period have been able to impart on Telangana art and

culture.

The main sanctorum of the temple houses the idol of the main deity Lord Chennakesavaswami.

The idol is resplendent in adornments particularly during the annual celebrations in the months

of February to March. During this time, the temple premises are filled with devotees who come

from far and near to offer their prayers to the Lord and seek his blessings.

The Temple walls are replete with frescoes and inscriptions which beautifully and elaborately

describe the rule of the Kakatiya kings. Some of the relevant inscriptions include the stone

10/18/2019

inscription in Telegu which dates back to S. 1130 (A.D 1208) which bears a reference to king

Ganapatideva. There can be seen yet another stone inscription of S.1117 (A.D 1195) which

mentions the rule of Rudradeva. Both inscriptions are available for tourists to view.

In addition to the presence of valuable inscriptions, the historical significance of the place has

significantly increased by the discovery of coins within the temple premises. These have helped

historians to salvage a lot about the life and times of the great Kakatiya rulers.

In addition to the historical and aesthetic value the village imparts, it is also a culturally

significant area. This is the birthplace of the famous Telegu poet Pillamarri Pina Virabhadrudu.
