History

Recently restored inscription on the death of Rani Rudrama in Chandupatla Village, it is believed that Queen Kakatiya Rudrama Devi died (1289 AD, November 27) here when she was seriously injured in a war with Ambadeva, a rebel Kayastha chief. Rudrama Devi had initiated several welfare programmes like digging tanks for bringing many acres under cultivation which was an inspiration for the Telangana government in restoring all the minor irrigation tanks.

Besides, the historian said that Rudrama Devi had also introduced several welfare programmes for the betterment of the life of her people while effectively confronting invading male warriors during her 30 years from 1259 to 1289.

Besides an inscription, there are historical statues of Lord Ganesha and a warrior riding on the back of a horse in the village. The village tank, Rasamudram, built during the Kakatiya Samudram, also finds a mention in the inscription because the inscription was installed very close to the village tank by a soldier of Rudrama Devi’s army Puvvula Mummadi, who is believed to be a native of Chandupatla. The inscription also says the Chief of Army of Rudrama Devi, Mallikarjuna Nayakudu, was killed on the same day, but there was no mention of the reason and the place of her death. [1]
