Mangalagiri was under the control of Golkonda Nawabs for a long period. It was plundered in 1780 by Hyder Ali but could not be conquered. In 1816, a gang of Pindaris again looted the place. It slowly recovered from these two attacks during the time of Raja Vasireddy Venkatadri Nayudu who ruled the place from Amaravati. While the people are looking forward to celebrate its Bi-Centenary of its construction,
