శ్రీ అంకాలమ్మ తల్లి
Sri Ankalamma Talli
The fierce and compassionate Mother — protector of villages, healer of suffering, guardian of those who seek refuge at Her feet.
Sthala Purana
The Mother's call
Ankalamma Talli — a form of the Devi venerated across Telugu villages — is the Mother who walks among Her people. She is invoked at moments of crisis and celebration alike: at births and weddings, at sowing and harvest, and whenever the village needs Her protection.
Local tradition speaks of Her self-manifestation in Ravadhuli generations ago, marking the spot where the present temple now stands. From that day onward, villagers have offered Her the first fruits of every harvest.
