On 10 Oct 2015, at 6:30 am, I have arrived at Sullurupeta by KSRTC bus from Benguluru. Got down at DOS colony and reached my brother's place. In the afternoon, at 3PM Sudheer and myself left to Mannaru Poluru. First we had been to the Govenment public school. At the request of head mistress of the school, I have been happy to interact with the school children of 9th and 10th class. I spoke about Dr Kalam, Satellites, Missiles and life of Dr.Kalam. Then, at the request of HM, I also spoke about my own childhood, school college studies briefly. It was 5PM and then we have gone to the nearby Krishan swamy temple. It has a 1000+ years history.The village Mannaru Poluru is 3 kms from the sullurupeta railway station. Recently, it has been taken up by Thirumala Thirupati Devastanam /TTD for upgradation. The pujari living complex has been built adjacent to the temple. When we arrived at the temple main Gali Gopuram door was locked. The pujari has come and opened the doors and has taken us inside the temple.
It is a spacious temple. It appears the temple land is extended upto the koneru 500 meters away. But, the people occupied and constructed houses in between the Koneru and the temple complex.
