Nemali Gundlu

Sri Bala Venkateswara Swamy Temple : Sri Bala Venkateswara Swamy Temple, the third temple in tirumala saptagirula prakshakshana circle, is located at a distance of three kilometers from Bhakarapeta in Chittoor district. Sthala Purana: The name nemaligundlu (peacock shells) is derived from the fact that the boulders in this area are in the shape of a peacock. It is here that Sri Venkateswara Swamy used to roam around with Bibi Nanchari in the form of a boy. The Muslim family who brought up Biwi Nanchari used to do agricultural work in the peacock gundlu area. Bibi Namchari was also with them. Sri Venkateswara Swamy used to come to Bibi Namchari every day and come to her every day. According to history, the temple was built by Tondaman, the clay fort emperor in the Nemaligundla area. However, the sanctum sanctorum of the temple is similar to the Tirumala sanctum sanctorum. According to locals, the temple has a five-kilometre stretch of manyas. At present, the temple is not properly developed. Let us do our best for the development of this temple
