Boiyakonda Gangamma Temple, Hindu temple in Chowdepalli, Chittoor District, India.

Boiyakonda Gangamma Temple is a Hindu shrine located on a hillock near Diguvapalli, built with natural marble flooring and walls created from sand-based construction materials. The site functions as a religious centre where pilgrims and visitors come to pay their respects at the sanctum.

The temple was built following a conflict when two local tribes sought refuge at this location and defeated forces opposing them. The construction commemorated their victory and established the site as a sacred place for the surrounding communities.

The temple honours Goddess Gangamma, worshipped here as a manifestation of feminine divine power. Visitors encounter traditional rituals especially during the annual Navaratri celebrations, when the site becomes a centre for devotional practices.

The temple is accessible daily and visitors should expect warm weather and a hilltop location requiring some climbing. It is advisable to wear modest clothing appropriate for a sacred site and bring plenty of water, especially during hot seasons.

Beneath the temple lies a sacred well whose water local inhabitants use for their fields, believing it enhances their crops. The well remains an integral part of daily agricultural practices in the surrounding area.
