History & significance

A Saiva temple at Pillalamarri commissioned in the early thirteenth century by Erakasani, wife of the Recherla chief Beti Reddi, and named lord of Eraka after her. Its workmanship is close to that of the Ramappa temple and Kota Gullu; vandalised during the raids of Alauddin Khilji, it was re-established by 1357 under a chief serving Kapaya Nayaka of the Musunuri line.
