Sri Santhana Venugopala Swamy Temple Thettu, Hindu temple in Kurabalakota, Andhra Pradesh, India

The temple structure incorporates traditional Dravidan architectural elements with stone carvings, detailed sculptures, and a prominent stone-faced tank called Bahuda Koneru.

The temple construction dates back approximately 1800 years to the Chola and Ganga dynasty period, with later renovations by Hoysala King Veeraballava in 1298.

The temple honors Lord Venugopala Swamy through annual Brahmotsavam festivals in March or April, featuring a 12-day chariot procession drawing 100,000 participants.

The temple sits near the 162nd milestone of Madras-Bombay road, 17 kilometers from Madanapalle and 4 miles from Kurabalakota Railway Station.

According to regional accounts, King Gangarasaru discovered the temple location after his chariot wheel became stuck, following a dream vision from Lord Krishna.
