Kandakurthi is a historical village. It plays a major role in Hinduism. Most of the RSS leaders visited Kandakurthi R.S.S SMRUTHI MANDIR which is called as a KESHAVA SMRUTHI MANDIR. Many leaders visit this village, and many people visit Lord Shiva Temple at the bank of Godavari River. All peoples from other states also comes to praye Lord SHIVA at this river. The RSS founder Mr.Dr.KESHAVARAO BALIRAMPANTH HEDGEWAR G who called as DOCTORJI also belongs to this village. In RAMAYANA one of the incidents is when Lord RAMA goes on forest at that time he lives in this village. In this village we can see three rivers they are GODHAVARI, MANJEERA and HARIDRA.
The Hon’ble Chief Minister had paid a visit to Nizamabad District on 24.12.2002 and 25.12.2002. During the course of his visit the Hon’ble Chief Minister had visited Kandakurthi Village in Renjal Mandal on 25.12.2002. The Villagers of Kandakurthi have requested the Hon’ble Chief Minister to make necessary arrangements for the ensuing Godavari Pushkaralu at Kandakurthi as it is the only entering point of Godavari river in the state, but no Godavari Pushkaralu were organised in the district for the past (50) years.
The Hon’ble Chief Minister was pleased with the request made by the villagers and was very kind enough to assure Godavari Pushkaralu, 2003 would not only be held at Kandakurthi, which is recognised as 116th Pushkaram Ghat, but also at two more important places in the district. The assurance given by the Hon’ble Chief Minister on 25.12.2002 has taken shape in the form of Godavari Pushkaralu at Kandakurti (v) of Renjal (M), Pochampad of Balkonda (M) and Tadpakal of Morthad Mandal. The entire people in Nizamabad district are very much pleased as their long cherished dream of conduct of Godavari Pushkaralu in Nizamabad district has come true.
The reaction of the people in this regard is enclosed for kind perusal of the Hon’ble Chief Minister. Also popular as the entry point of river Godavari, in the state Telangana, which originates at Triombakeshwar of Nasik in Maharastra state. The Triveni Sangam and Wriveni Sangam is the confluence of river Haridra, Godavari and Manjeera. This village has a great historical background and believed that the Skandaashramam was also here. During the period of Vanavasa, Lord Sri Rama came here and done pujas. The village is also the birthplace of the founder of R.S.S. Dr. Keshav Rao Balirao Hegdewar and lot of people including pilgrims / scholars and political leaders visit this place.
The inter stage bridge that was built on river Godavari, which joins Telangana state with Maharastra is the focal point to eye the picturesque view of confluence of three rivers namely Godavari, Manjeera and Haridra. On the banks of Godavari an ancient Shivalaya temple, built with black stone is existing. Apart from this, in the village Ramalayam, Keshava smruthi mandiram, Scanda mataalayam are the holy temples. People believe that if any individual takes a dip in the Godavari river all his sins would be washed away and he becomes a purified soul. It is also believed that Kandakurthi has the holiness equalient to Kashi in the North and Rameshwaralyam in the South. Pilgrims who visit Kashi will have to visit Rameshwaralaya or else they will not be relieved from the sins. But for any reason if a pilgrim fails to visit one of the above temples he can visit Ramalyam and Shivalayam in Kandakurthi village to wipe out their sins. People also believed that not only they get rid of their sins if they take a dip in Godavari river but also believe that they will be relived from various types of diseases.
Mr. Sri Sridhar Maharaj is build SRI RAM MANDIR (temple) in this village. Now in present days his family members are live here.
