Hamsaladeevi  - Venugopalaswamy Aalayaam 

It is indeed strange and awe-inspiring to learn that even a crane a winged creature too has realized the sacredness of this kshetra and offered soulful prayers to the archamurti Venugopalaswamy after bathing in the holy Triveni. This highly venerated temple is said to have been built by Pandyan kings. The sculpture and architectural pattern confirms to the Dravidian style of construction. In the past, says the sthalapurana. It was visited by devout Paramahamsa for offering prayers to this lord. Its bygone splendour occupies an eminent place in literature. One poet by name Kasulu Purusham composed one hundred sweet verses and immortalized the divinity of the Lord. The mulavirat, Venugopalaswamy appears with a tint of blue colour, perhaps to be in tune with his attribute Neelameghasyama. The annual festival falls in the month of Magha and lasts for 8 days. Thousands visit and offer special prayers then.

It lies 6 km off Kodur of Krishna district of Andhra Pradesh, commanding bus transport convenience.
