==History==

===Battle of Padmanabham===
There's a famous Ananta Padmanabha Swami Temple in this mandal. Before independence, this temple was allotted 3,000 acres by the [[Pusapati]] royal family of Vizianagaram and the "Raja Sagi" royal family of [[Pandrangi]].
The Battle Of Padmanabham was fought on July{{nbsp}}9, 1794, between the [[British Army|British]], led by Colonel Pendergast, and Pusapati Vijaya Rama Raju II of [[Vizianagaram]]. The Vizianagaram forces were led by Raja Sagi Rama Chandra Raju of the Pandrangi mokhasa family. The Raja of Vizianagaram was found in arrears of paying annual taxes to the British as he opposed British governance over his principality. Earlier, the chieftains of Vizianagaram aided [[French East India Company|French]] and later British in conquering the neighbouring principalities. However, they later fell out with their foreign allies.
 
Colonel Pendergast was sent by the [[Governor]] of [[Madras]], John Andrews. Both the Raja and his commander were killed, along with 800 soldiers of Vizianagaram, allowing the British to gain full control over the tiny principality. After the death of Pusapati Vijayarama Raju II, his son Pusapati Narayana Raju was guarded by the Raja Sagi family until 1796, when he was crowned king of the Vizianagaram estate.
