About Chebrolu:
Chebrolu was once a famous Buddhist site and served as the capital city of Kakatiya dynasty.
Maharishi Bhrigu once cursed Lord Brahma that no one will directly worship him in Kaliyuga.
It is the reason you will notice Lord Brahma engraved on the four sides of Shiva Lingam in this sacred temple and is worshipped as Sri Chathurmukha Brahmalingeshwara Swamy instead of making a separate idol for him.
The place also served as a popular regional Fort for the Pallava dynasty, Chalukyas and Kakatiya dynasty.
Brahmalingeshwara Swamy Temple was rebuilt by Sri Raja Vasireddy Venkatadri Nayudu (1783 - 1816) in the 19th century. He was the last King who ruled the present Krishna Guntur region until the arrival of the British in India.
The Raja has restored many ancient temples at Chebrolu, Ponnuru, Amaravati and Mangalagiri. He also strengthened many other small temples in Chebrolu.
