Rajahmundry

Rajahmundry

Rajahmundry has the distinction of being the cultural capital of Andhra Pradesh. It is claimed that the Telugu language originated in Rajahmundry. 

The poet, Nannaya, was responsible for coming up with the Telugu script, which transformed it into a language.

 Located west of Godavari River, Rajahmundry is about 400 kilometres from Hyderabad.

 The earliest rulers of the region were the Chalukyas. Rajaraja Narendra ruled over Rajahmundry in the 12th century. 

However, new archaeological findings suggest that the history of this region may go back even further.
