the ruins of Prabhagiripatnam lie on the Podalakuru Mohammadapuram at a distance of 45km. away from Nellore. The ruins of the temple of Lord Siva and Perumallaswamy, which belonged to 1512A.D., remind the tourists of their former glory and excellence. An inscription denoting the royal gift(1512AD) of the Vijayanagara king Venkataryalu, is gathering dust at a place close to the temple of Perumallaswamy. This inscription enjoins that the income derived from the agricultural lands of the neighborhood should be spent for the upkeep of the temple. The sculptural and artistic pieces strewn around here have been recognised as the idols of Veerabhadraswamy, and Shanmugaswamy is that six heads, instead of being in a row are sculpted differently –there in the front and three in the rear.
