Sri Potti Sri Ramulu Nellore district

Sri Potti Sri Ramulu Nellore is an administrative territory in southeastern Andhra Pradesh that encompasses 46 subordinate administrative units and the capital city Nellore. The area extends from the Bay of Bengal coastline inland and connects rural villages to urban centers through a network of roads.

The region belonged to the British Madras Presidency and later became part of Madras State after Indian independence. The territory was incorporated into the newly formed state of Andhra Pradesh in 1953 and named after a social reformer who advocated for linguistically defined states.

The Telugu language shapes everyday life across all administrative units, while traditional cuisine made from rice, lentils and regional spices is served in households and by street vendors. Religious festivals bring families together who gather in whitewashed temples and recite prayers side by side.

Intercity buses run between different administrative units and connect smaller settlements to larger hubs along main transport corridors. Travelers find accommodation and services primarily in the district headquarters and larger towns.

Coastal waters host large-scale shrimp farms set up in shallow pools that supply an important part of India's seafood production. These aquaculture facilities stretch along the shoreline and provide employment for thousands of workers in rural communities.
