Now let’s come to the matter of Almaspur. It seems that people from some villages around the present Almaspur established the village of Almaspur here. Even today, the people of this area still talk about some of the landmarks related to those villages that have lost their monuments.It is said that in the past, there was a village called Kondreddy Palle (Kondareddypalli) to the east, where about 70-80 families lived. It is said that there was a special area called “Mutham” under the Gattu Palli lake and Rasi Gutta to the west. It is said that there were special Ayyas and priests there then. That place was called Ayyoruu Kunta. There was now a flower kunta to the west. The mystery of how those areas disappeared remains to be solved. The people who lived there have established a new village to the east, which is now Almaspur village. The traces of that time are still visible in that area. The Ranganayaka Swamy temple to the west is related to that period. The villagers have given information that an idol of “Hanuman” in the area where the traces were lost is still worshipped.
These are the special conditions of Almaspur village in the district. The names and traces of some villages that have disappeared over time are still a mystery. On the outskirts of Venkatapur in Yellareddypet mandal, some signs are still visible in the green fields of the villages that were tilled by the people of those villages on the outskirts of “Bavupet” and “Narasampally”. In the forest area of Veernapalli mandal, traces of the disappeared villages are still visible. It remains to be known at what time and under what circumstances the villages disappeared. To greet the history woven around Almaspur village means to take a deep look at our history. Throughout history, many “historical” traces have been seen in Rajannasiricilla district.
