Gandi Kshetram

The history of Kshetram dates back to the period of the Ramayana, Treta Yuga.

According to the legend, the god Rama himself had drawn the picture of Hanuman on the rock with his arrow while resting at this place, and was receiving the hospitality of Vayu, the god of the wind and father of Hanuman.

In Telugu language Gandi means a narrow passage for the water to flow out.

This place seems to be a narrow passage for the river to flow in between the hills of Eastern ghats.

This place located in Kadapa district and is 34 km away from the Pulivendula town.
