VEMULAVADA |
|
As regards the
origin of this famous and ancient tempie, we are oil very sure grounds. An inscription in
the temple states that Rajaditya, who was a vassal of the Western Chalukya King
Thribhuvanamalla, had done tile Pratisthapana of this God and constructed this temple in
the 9th year of Chalukya Vikrama Era. In another inscription, which is available, it is
stated that King Arikesari, the Lion of the Chalukyas of Vemulavada, had a titulary name
of Rajaditya. These feudatory kings lived round about the 9th and l0th centuries A.D. and
hence the temple is nearly 1000 years old. |
