History & significance

A village shrine in Nellore district dedicated to Poleramma, a pre-Vedic guardian goddess widely worshipped as a local form of Shakti across Andhra Pradesh. First put up by a British-era village officer roughly two centuries ago, it was later rebuilt with funds raised by the villagers themselves and remains a working centre of folk-deity worship and annual festivals.
