Raghavendrapuram

Raghavendrapuram is the name of a place in India, referring to at least two distinct villages located in the southern states of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh.

  • Tamil Nadu: One Raghavendrapuram is situated in the neighbourhood of the city of Tiruchirappalli (Trichy) in central Tamil Nadu.
  • Andhra Pradesh: The second Raghavendrapuram is located in the I. Polavaram mandal (also known as Polavaram) of the East Godavari district. This village is served by a single-teacher Mandal Praja Parishad school (MPPS Raghavendrapuram).

The name "Raghavendrapuram" is derived from the Sanskrit elements Raghavendra (a name of the Hindu saint Raghavendra Swamy, itself meaning "lord of the Raghu dynasty," an epithet of Rama) and puram (meaning "town" or "settlement"). Thus, the name translates to "the town of Raghavendra."
