History

[edit]

Sri Irukala Parameshwari Ammavari Temple is situated by the Swarnala Cheruvu pond in Moolapet, Nellore. Its history is intertwined with the Kakatiya dynasty, specifically linked to Lord Ganapati.

In the 13th century, during the reign of the Telugu Chola kings, Rajaina Choda Thikka sought Ganapati's aid, leading to Kakatiya incursions into the Nellore region from 1203 AD onward. By 1314-15, Kakatiya soldiers gifted the land to local leaders, resulting in prosperous rains and abundant harvests.

Later, in the mid-14th century, Savanna governed Udayagiri as a Vijayanagara representative. During this time, Kanchanam Garu organized weekly festivities and allocated a portion of trade taxes to support the temple, ensuring its continued significance in the region.[1]
