Alagu Mallari Krishna Swamy temple exists right from the moment of the rulers of Telugu Chola in the Mannarpoluru Village. The village is close to Sullurupet, 103 km away from Nellore. Bangaru Yadama Nayudu, the living place of mallayodas or wrestlers, constructed it in the 17th century.
Alagu Mallari Krishna Swamy Temple History or Alagu Mallari Krishna Swamy Temple Legend:
It was here, according to a legend, that Lord Sri Krishna defeated Jambavantha in a duel and married his daughter Jambavati, and here alone Lord Mahavishnu deflated Garutmata’s bloated ego.
Besides the idol of Satyabhama and Jambavati, Lord Krishna’s two consorts, Jambavantha’s idol creating the illusion of shedding tears is bound to amaze spectators. It is impossible to marvel at the sculptural splendor exuded by the beauty idols.
