Venugopalaswamy Temple, Karvetinagaram

Venugopalaswamy Temple is a Hindu temple in Karvetinagaram with a main tower decorated with stone carvings that serve as the religious focal point. The grounds include a spacious front courtyard and a historic step well used for water access in earlier times.

The temple was built by King Venkataperumal of the Venkataraja dynasty and was originally overseen by the Narayanavanam rulers. It later came under the administration of the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams, an organization that continues to manage it.

The temple is named after Krishna in his form as a cowherd and serves as a gathering place for the local community. People gather here throughout the year to celebrate traditional festivals and participate in rituals that mark important occasions in the Hindu calendar.

The temple is easily accessible by bus from nearby cities like Puttur, Chittor, and Tirupati with regular service routes. Visitors should wear comfortable clothing and footwear, and it is helpful to check exact visiting hours in advance to plan your trip accordingly.

The main deity statue depicts Krishna as a cowherd with a cow beside him and was carved from a single piece of stone. This representation includes Krishna alongside his two consorts Rukmini and Satyabhama, all sculpted from one stone block.
