Macharla mandal

Macharla mandal is an administrative division in Palnadu district that encompasses one town and thirteen villages across numerous settlements. The area is characterized by varied terrain and geographic features that support rural communities.

The region developed as a center of religious activity during the Haihaya Kings period, when temples like Chennakesava Swamy were established. The modern mandal administrative system replaced the earlier larger territorial divisions in 1985.

The Chennakesava Swamy temple serves as a central place for worship and community gathering, especially during the annual Tirunalla festival. Local people come together for celebrations tied to the temple's traditions.

Local administrative offices are located in central areas where visitors can conduct official business or inquire about local matters. It helps to start with the main town to understand the layout before exploring the surrounding villages.

This administrative area touches borders with three neighboring mandals and also shares a boundary with Telangana state across its edge. This location makes it a meeting point between different administrative regions.
