Adanki

Adanki was the first capital of the Reddi kingdom, founded by Prolaya Vema in 1325. He and his son Anavotha Reddi ruled from here until the capital moved to Kondaveedu in 1355. An older inscription found near the town's Thousand Pillar Temple records the campaigns of Pandaranga, a commander of Gunaga Vijayaditya III, and a grant of land made in reward. It also preserves an early example of Telugu verse.
