Attirala, also known as Hatyarala, is a revered temple site located about 10 km from Annamacharya University, Rajampet, on the banks of the Cheyyeru River. It features the Parasurameswara, Gadadhara Swamy, and Treteswara temples, blending Chola and Dravidian architectural styles. The site is mythologically significant as Lord Parasurama and sage Likhita were believed to be spiritually cleansed here. Built during the 10th century by the Vaidumbas and patronized by multiple dynasties, it is also known as ‘Dakshina Gaya’ for its ancestral ritual importance. The temple hosts grand celebrations during Maha Shivaratri, attracting devotees from across the region.
