- An inscription at Khammampalli states that Visvesvara Sivacharya built a temple for the god Visvanatha at Chandravelli. He endowed the temple with money for its upkeep and worship, and he founded a matha in the name of the god. The Annual Report on Indian Epigraphy for 1958-59 notes that the Malkapuram inscription confirms these facts.Annual Report on Indian Epigraphy 1958-59Epigraphia Telanganica 2023
