Malleswara Swamy Temple

Sri Malleswara Swamy Temple at Kotrakona village of Gangadhar Nellore, Chittoor District.

This temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and was built by Chola kings during the 11th century.  This temple came under external attacks during the 12th and 13th century. There is mention of inner prakarams, Vimanagopuram, Rajagopuram and goddess Bhuvaneswari Devi on the premises.

Only in the year 1975, this temple came into light, when Brahmins from nearby Agraharam took a step in clearing debris and wilderness around the temple and lit the wick lamp for Lord Siva.
