It was once ruled by a feudal lord, Maha Raja Sri Somashekar Ananda bhoopal Reddy, called Somanadri, who hailed from Poodoor village. Gadwal has developed around a fort built by Somanadri. This Gadwal Samsthanam was protected by Mallichetti Vamshiyulu. The Nagi Reddy fondly knew Nagappa was an Ayngarashakulu of Gadwal samsthanam (Raja somanadri was a minor). When Nagappa died in a war with fanatic sultans, Narsappa succeeded him as Gadwal Samsthanam Ayngarashakulu. Unfortunately, for some reason, he then had to leave the palace.[1]
In 1947, the feudatory queen of Gadwal Samsthanam during Nizam rule, Adi Lakshmidevamma, aided forces led by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel in annexing Hyderabad State into independent India, and let those forces enter Hyderabad State through Gadwal.

Anandamurthy was, at the time, in charge of the Agraharam in Gadwal containing Ramachandra Swamy Temple, along with the surrounding lands. When the Maharani Adhilaxmi Devamma moved to Hyderabad with her children, S.P.Anandamurthy appointed S.P. Narashimamurthy as the Asthan Purohit to move along with the Asthanam to Hyderabad to perform the daily rituals at the palace. S.P. Narashimamurthy, along with his wife, S.P. Subbamma and the adopted child (S.P. Subrahmanyam) moved to Hyderabad.
