People in the area say that Bheema Raju of the Vengi Chalukya family built the Kuravi Veerabhadra Swamy temple in 900 AD. Later, Betharaju I, the king of the Kakatiya, took over the work on the temple.
Marko-Poli, a famous explorer, also mentioned this temple because it was the capital of the Vengi Chalukya Dynasty.
Kuravi Veerabhadra Swamy Temple
Since it was known that Kakatiya kings worshipped Lord Shiva, they built a lot of shrines and improved the ones already there. The famous Lord Veerabhadra Swamy temple is only one kilometre from Peddacheruvu on 100 acres of land. It has a lot of promise to become a place people visit.
Kuravi is unique in its culture. Lord Veera Bhadra Swami and the Bhadrakali temple are well-known in the temple. So many tribel and non-Tribel people go to the temple to ask God for his gifts. Maha Siva Rathiri fair is the most significant event in Kuravi. People in Kuravi also enjoy events like "Bathukamma," "Bonalu," and so on. Most of the food in the villages under Kuravi comes from crops like cotton and chilli. The village has an angadi on every Monday. Farmers from everywhere come here to buy and sell cattle.
