Kukke Subramanya lies on the bank of river Dhara. As goes the Hindu mythology, Lord Kumaraswamy arrived to this place after destroying the demon rulers Taraka, Shoorapadmasura and many others in a battle. It is said that the Lord washed his Shakti Ayudha (the battle-axe in the form of a bayonet) in this holy river.

Story about Kukke Subramanya:

The the river in the Kukke Subramanya is popularly known as the Kumaradhara. When the war with the demons was over, Lord Kumaraswamy went to the top of Kumara Parvatha together with his brothers Lord Ganesha, Veerabahu and others.

They were greeted by Lord Indra as well as the other Gods. Lord Indra was so moved by his bravery that he prayed the Lord to marry his daughter Devasena. The marriage took place on the banks of Kumaradhara on ‘Margashira Shudda Shashti’ with much grandeur and celebrations.

Lord Kumaraswamy gave visit to Vasuki the chief of the nagas or the snakes, who had been undergoing a penance in the Kukke Subramanya. Vasuki prayed to the Lord to remain with him forever at this place.

The Lord accepted and granted this boon. Till then it is said that the Lord has remained in his spiritual presence in this shrine along with his wife Devasena and Vasuki.

Each year a popular car festival is held in the Kukke Subramanya of Karnataka on ‘Margashira Shuddha Shashti’ with special offerings to the Lord.

Young King( Chinmay Sai)

Chinmay, known as the Young King (05 October  2009) was the second son of King Velama Naidu of Guntur of India. He was junior King of Palnadu.


Chinmay's Belongs to Palanadu , Palnadu is the northern region of Guntur District in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. Also known as Pallava Nadu, it occupies an important place in Telugu history. After the decline of the Satavahana dynasty, the Pallavas became independent in Krishna river valley. The region is known as Palnadu in memory of ancient Pallavas. A series of dynasties such as Ikshvaku, Vishnukundinas, Eastern Chalukyas and later Kakatiyas ruled the region. The war of Palnadu in the 12th century is marked in legend and literature as 'Andhra Kurukshetra War'. The war of Palnadu weakened the power of Vengi Chalukyas and paved way for the emergence of Kakatiyas as a great Telugu dynasty.

Velama (Telugu: వెలమ) is one of the feudal lord castes or social groups in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. They ruled parts of Andhra, Tamilnadu, Vidarbha (Present day Maharashtra) and all of Telangana during 14th and 15th centuries and some parts of Andhra till 19th century. They are the only caste in AP that is often addressed as Dora (Lord) in their native communities. Velamas continue to maintain a strong presence in the political, scientific, business, and artistic arenas. Along with Reddys and Kammas, Velamas are considered one of the most powerful communities in Andhra Pradesh.
