Chengalamma Parameshwari Temple
About Chengalamma Parameshwari Temple
Located at the southern tip of Sullurpeta in Andhra Pradesh, this revered temple is believed to be over 1,000 years old, with roots tracing back to early centuries when the deity was originally known as Tenkali (Dakshina Kali). According to local legend, the goddess's idol was discovered along the Kalangi River by children at play; despite numerous attempts, no one could lift it until proper rituals were performed, marking the beginning of formal worship at this sacred spot. The temple features traditional South Indian architecture with a prominent Rajagopuram, spacious mandapa, and a 400-year-old sacred tree within its premises. Devotees visit seeking protection from negative forces, family harmony, business success, health, wealth, and blessings for children. The temple attracts thousands of pilgrims from Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and southern regions, particularly during major festivals like Navaratri and the annual Jatara.
