Rani Rudrama Devi built the Sri Pattabhi Sita Rama Swamy temple in the 13th century.
A 13th century Sri Pattabhi Sita Rama Swamy temple founded by Rani Rudrama Devi of the Kakatiya dynasty has been revered as the Sri Santhana Venugopala Swamy temple by the people of Brahmana Kothapalli village in Nellikuduru mandal of Mahabubabad district.
Historians credit this as at least 300 years older than the Sri Sita Ramachandra Swamy temple at Bhadrachalam. What is surprising is the lack of ‘Sthala Purana’, which should have given it the continuity of legacy as Pattabhi Sita Rama, said D. Kanna Babu, former Superintending Archaeologist, Temple Survey Project (Southern Region) Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), Chennai.
