  • A Study of Rayalaseema Temples
    www.ijcrt.org © 2019 IJCRT | Volume 7, Issue 3 July 2019 | ISSN: 2320-2882 A Study of RayalaSeema Temples Dr Anand.B Asst Professor of History Govt First Grade College – Sunkalbidari Abstract:- Rayalaseema is a geographic region in the state of Andhra Pradesh in India. It includes the southern districts of Chittoor, Kadapa and Kurnool Anantapur, with an area of 67,526 km2, Rayalaseema is larger than Himachal Pradesh Kerala, Punjab, and nine other states in India. It has a population of 15,184,908, which is 30.03% of the state population. Rayalaseema borders the state of Tamil Nadu to the south, Karnataka to the west. Introduction: The region contributes 52 assembly segments to Andhra pradesh state legislature and 8 parliamentary constituencies to Indian parliament. These Telugu-speaking districts were part of the Madras Presidency until 1953, when Telugu-speaking districts of the Presidency were carved out to form Andhra State. From 1953 to 1956, the region was part of Andhra State. In 1956, the Telangana region was merged with Andhra State to form Andhra Pradesh State. Earlier, Bellary district was part of Rayalaseema. With the formation of states based on languages, Bellary was joined to Karnataka. The city of Bellary, which has large numbers of both Kannada and Telugu speakers, was included in Mysore after protracted debate and controversy. Rayalaseema was ruled by Sri Krishna Devaraya. Rayalaseema was the original home of the Eastern Chalukyas, which gradually extended their sway over Karnataka under pressure from the Chola kings. Although Rayalaseema is a small region compared to the rest of Telugu-speaking areas, its contribution to Telugu, Kannada, Tamil, and Urdu arts, culture and literature is immense.
