Vasireddy Clan - Venkatadri Nayudu

Venkatadri Nayudu

The last ruler Vasireddy Venkatadri Nayudu (1783–1816) shifted the capital to Amaravati (near ancient Dhanyakatakam/Dharanikota) across the river Krishna. He was most famous for his benign rule, patronage of arts and literature, munificence and as a builder of numerous temples in Krishna river delta. He renovated the ancient temples at Amaravati, Chebrolu, Mangalagiri and Ponnuru.

The remnants of Vasireddy clan are presently found in the Zamindaris of Amaravati, Mangalagiri, and Muktyala in Krishna and Godavari deltas, respectively.
