Kanigiri There are some historical buildings on the hill. Kanigiri fort, wells and durga are important among them. On Kanigiri hill there are also two dilapidated temples. On top of the hill is a flat land with an area of one square mile. Locals say that there used to be a town on the hill.Many people believe that this is the Kanakagiri described in the manuscript.

And some time later in the 17th century, Mysore Nawabaghu Hyderali conquered this Kanigirisima and leveled the town and the fort with the Kungutels. After this it became the possession of the Nizam.Then it was adopted by the English. During the rule of Ashwetamukhs, this taluk was included in the Kadapa district of Kurnool for a few days and was in the Nellore district for some time. Since 1970, Prakasam has been in the district. There are 40 statutes related to Kanakagiri in Nellore District Statute Book.
