As of the 2001 India census,[2] Tadipatri had a population of
86,641. Males constitute 51% of the population and
females 49%. Tadipatri has an average literacy rate of 56%,
lower than the national average of 59.5%: male
literacy is 67%, and female literacy is 44%. In Tadipatri, 13%
of the population is under 6 years of age.
The area around Tadipatri is known as Bhaskara Kshetra. To its
south lies a forest full of palm trees. It was
called Tatipatri during the time of Pemmasani Ramalinga Naidu, a
local chieftain under the Vijayanagara king,
Proudha Devaraya.
Tadipatri got its name from Tatipatriwhich means garden of palm
trees. Another version is that Tataki, a
demon lady who tried to kill Sreeram on his way to save the yaga
of Viswamitra but was killed by Sreeram at
this very place and hence the name.
Tadipatri has two notable temples within the town, the Chintala
Venkata Ramana Swamy temple and the
Bugga Rama Lingeswara Swamy temple. Thesthala puranam, or local
history, says that these two temples
were built in a day by two brothers. The Chintala Venkata Ramana
Swamy temple was completed by the next
morning but the Bugga Rama Lingeswara Swamy temple wasn't
complete. The belief is that had this temple
been completed it would have been 'Dakshina Kaashi', or Kaashi
of the South. The architecture of these two
temples is largely Dravidian and reflects the Vijayanagara
style.
The Chintala Venkata Ramana Swamy temple is located in the heart
of the town on a plot about 5 acres
(20,000 m2). Thevimana orMain Gopuram was rebuilt as a result of
earthquake damage. Ramayana,
Bhagavata and Mahabharata epics are carved around the Garbha
Griha. There may be a secret tunnel
orsorangam from this temple to Gooty Fort. The face of the
tunnel is still seen. However, it is blocked by astone by
Archeological Survey of India.
The Bugga Rama Lingeswara Swamy temple is located on the
northern end of the town, where the River
Pennar lies. Water oozes all the time from the pedestal of the
Siva Lingam here and people treat this as holy
water. Unlike other temples, this temple has main entrances on
the south and west. In this temple there is a
secret tunnel to Tirupathi, but the entrance of the tunnel is
now sealed.
