Plans are afoot for the integrated development of Motupalli, a historic port in Chinnaganjam mandal of Prakasam district.
The tourism potential of the sleepy village, where the bronze idols of Lord Nataraja, his consort Parvati, their son Ganesha and Alwars, the Bhakti movement saints dating back to the 12th century, were found in the 1970s, has remained hitherto untapped.
