Architecture

Gollala Mamidada is known as Mamidi Vatika (in Telugu Mamidi – Mango, Vatika – Garden). The small village is home to what is famously touted as Konaseema Ayodhya – Sri Kodandarama Swamy Temple- which has gained much importance in the last hundred years as the tenets are of Vyshanava Sampradaya. A special attraction of Gollalamamidada Rama temple is its 170 feet high Gopuram. The temple has two powerful gopurams, The West gopuram is 210 feet height with 11 stories and 5 kalasams. The East Gopuram is 160 feet height with 9 stories and 5 kalsams. On these gopurams, the main stages of the Ramayana, the Mahabharatham and the Bhagavatham are beautifully carved. The unique feature of the temple is one can reach the last storey of the gopuram and can view the scenic beauty of the country side through the steps.
