Penchalakona
During karthik masam ,we had been to Penchalakona ,a famous Narasimha kshetram, which is situated around 70 kms distance from Nellore via Rapur , by our car. There is a bus facility from Rapur to Nellore for every half an hour around 30 kms distance from there.Government tourist guest houses will be available for people who are coming from the distant places . History;' Penu' means huge and 'Sila' means rock .Penusila kona became Penchalakona in course of time .
