History
editSri Rajarajeshwari Ammavari Devasthanam is a prominent temple located in Nellore City, Andhra Pradesh, India. The temple was established with the support of Sri Sankaran, the then District Collector, who allocated the Land.[3]
In 1968, the temple received a significant blessing when Sri Sri Sri Chandrasekhar Saraswati Swamigal, the head of Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham, consecrated it with divine rituals. On March 6, 1975, a Kumbhabhishekam ceremony was performed by Sri Sri Sri Jayendra Sarvaswathi Swamigal from the Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham, alongside the head of the Sringeri Peetham.
The temple was constructed through the efforts of Swargiya Ratnaswami Modiliar, who financed the project with donations from numerous devotees.[4]
In addition to the main shrine, the temple complex houses several sub-temples, including Sri Gayatri Ammavari Devasthanam, Sri Sundareswara Swami Vari Devasthanam, and Navagraha Mandapams.
