Pallepadu - Channakesavaswamy Aalayam

This ancient shrine said to have been built by Jagirdars belonging to Bijjala dynasty is small in size, but big in fame. Although there is one more temple here called Nageswaraswamy Alayam, the former is very popular and people throng there always. Having received the rule's bounty, its architecture and sculpture are alluring and contain all the essential parts, although modest in sue. The annual festival - Rathotsav celebrated during Chaitra masa attracts huge crowds and it is one of the biggest in this area. Annadana and electrical illuminations are undertaken with great devotional zeal.

It lies 10 km off Nanavapadu railway station in the Manavapad mandalam of Palamur district of Andhra Pradesh, commanding transport facilities.
