My Homeland Chennur

I come from an ancient village Chennur located on the banks of Godavari river of Mancherial district, Telangana. Its also known as Panchakosa uttara vahini as Godavari river in Chennur flows towards north 15km(or 5 kosa) direction. Usually Godavari river flows from west to east but in Chennur it flows towards north direction . Chennur is always my favorite destination to spend my vacation in the simpler way with stress free environment and serenity all around.

The place holds such an occult power, soon I enter my village my heart feels too light, body generates positive energy and looking at the people all around spreading unconditional love makes me feel free from all sort of tensions.

Chennur is a holy place with its ancient history. The place holds such a historic beauty of lord shiva temple which is also known as Agasthyeshwaralayam built by sage agasthya .

Sage Agasthya on his visit to south India in Dwaparayugam visited this beautiful place Chennur for meditation and to hear Shiva reveal the secret of the Veda and the Tantra. The sage was overwhelmed with the beauty of Chennur of its pleasant environment and nature which lead to the establishment of a royal and powerful linga.

The temple holds such popular history where in the year of 1298 Agasthyeshwaralayam was reestablished by kakatiya king Prataparudra which was later after 20 years during the period of Allauddin Khilji , Malik Kapur who was senani destroyed the temple by demolishing the Gopuram of temple. Finally it is believed that the great king Sri Krishna Devaraya has again reestablished the temple .

 The temple is also known as Amba Agasthyeshwaralayam .Its believed that the primary deity of this temple is Lord Amba Agastheshwara who is a form of Lord Shiva along with a combination of His consort named Amba. This particular combination of God and Goddess is affectionately called Lord Amba Agastheshwara Swamy in this region. 

The most ancient shivalayam in this area with very old inscriptions in Dravida language in the banks of pavitra godavari which is also referred as panchakosa uttaravahini there has attained fame especially during pushkaralu .In the south the godavari is holy river and people offer divine prayers pooja in the river during every pushkar season. Since in north its kashi where ganges river flows in north direction and in South chennur holds such importance.
