History

The Indian state of Andhra Pradesh has this town in its Krishna district. It is also the government seat of Jaggayyapet mandal. The city is on the banks of the Paleru River, which flows into the Krishna River.

About one hundred years ago, a king named Sri Raja Vasireddy ruled the area around Jaggaiahpet. Many temples were built in honour of Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu by Venkatadri Nayudu, who was known for his faithfulness and dedication. He is said to have started two towns. Jaggaiahpeta got its name from his father, Jaggayya, and Achampeta from his mother, Atchamma. Venkatadri Nayudu laid the foundations for the cities.

Records from the government show that Venkatadri Nayudu built the town. He changed the village's name from Bethavolu to Jaggaiahpet and built on it. In old times, Buddhism grew in Jaggayyapet, and monks made their way around the Danamboard area and built a stupa in Dhanam Bodu.

Culture 

Jaggayyapet town is diverse, with people from all religions and communities living together happily. There are temples to all gods and goddesses, including old shrines built by Satavahanas and Ikshvaku rulers—people in the town also like the mosques and churches of RCM and CSI. The people who live in the town's tribal communities are famous for their unique clothes and languages. Buddhist monks used to walk the data board area in the past.
