Andhra Pradesh Kurnool tourism

Tourist Locations in AP> Kurnool

Legend has it that in the 11th century A.D., the Odderas carted stones for construction of a temple at Alampur and halted at the present town of Kurnool before crossing River Tungabhadra. The locals supplied oil for greasing carts here and the place came to be known as Kandenavolu (Town of grease) which subsequently became Kurnool.

The temple of Ahobilam, the Jyotirlinga at Srisailam, the large caves of Belum, all stand testimony to the rich heritage of this district. Another link: http://www.aptourism.in/kurnool.html
