'''Pemmasani Timmanayudu II''' was a member of the [[Pemmasani Nayaks]]. He was the son of [[Pemmasani Ramalinga Nayudu I|Pemmasani Ramalinga I]] and a contemporary of [[Viranarasimha Raya|Vira Narasimharaya]] and [[Krishnadevaraya]].<ref name=":0">{{harvnb|Sriramamurty|1973|p=270}}</ref> After the death of his father, Timmanayudu went to inform the Vijayanagara Emperor of the progress made in developing the [[Rayalaseema]] region. The emperor was so pleased with what he heard that he made Timmanayudu the commandant of the [[Gandikota|Gandikota Fort]] on behalf of Saluva Govindaraja, its governor.<ref name=":0" /> Then, Timmanayudu gave control of [[Yadiki]] and [[Tadipatri]], which were previously controlled by his ancestors, to a relative and shifted to Gandikota.<ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
Timmanayudu strengthened Gandikota Fort, and he administered Gandikota ''sima.''<ref name=":1">{{harvnb|Sriramamurty|1973|p=271}}</ref> The ''[[kaifiyat]]'' of Tadipatri states that the Madhwa teacher [[Vyasatirtha|Vysaraja]] passed through the estates of Timmanayudu while on his pilgrimage to [[Rameswaram]].<ref name=":2">{{harvnb|Sriramamurty|1973|p=274}}</ref> Vysaraja appointed a Madhawa archaka in a temple near Tadipatri.<ref name=":2" /> <br />

While Timmanayudu was at Gandikota, his deputies continued developing Tadipatri and Yadiki.<ref name=":1" /> Timmanayudu also was involved in Tadipatri. Timmanayudu built the [[Chintalarayaswami Temple]] (Sri Chintala Venkataramana Temple) in Tadipatri after [[Vishnu]] supposedly told Timmanayudu in a dream that a temple should be constructed for him.<ref>{{harvnb|Sriramamurty|1973|p=272}}</ref><ref>{{harvnb|Ramaswami|1975|pp=10–11}}</ref> Timmanayudu appointed two archakas and a chief-priest, and he gifted lands to the temple.<ref name=":3">{{harvnb|Sriramamurty|1973|p=273}}</ref> The Chintalarayaswami Temple is considered as one of the finest examples of Vijayanagara architecture.<ref name=":3" /><br />
<br />
Timmanayudu had three children: [[Pemmasani Ramalinga Nayudu|Pemmasani Ramalinga Nayudu II]], [[Pemmasani Erra Timmanayudu|Erra Timmanayudu]] (Pedda Timmanayudu), and Chinna Timmanayudu. All three brothers would become "famous" in Vijayanagara history.<ref>{{harvnb|Sriramamurty|1973|p=275}}</ref><br />
