Appanapalli is situated in East Godavari District, Andhra pradesh. Appanapalli a remote village in Mamidikudhuru Mandal, East Godavari District, situated on the holy banks of river vynateya has attained reparation as Bala Tirupathi of costal districts being the abode of lord bala balaji, surrounded by River Godavary on three sides and the bay of bengal on fourth side flanked by wide spread paddy fields, coconut gardens, palatinate, mango and jack trees. konaseema appears as part of heaven came down to earth.


An interesting story clings to this place (sthalapurana) kasyapaprajapathi had two wives. The first one was kadruva. all her progeny were serpents. Second wife was Vinata. vinata had a son "Vynateya". Because of mysterious reasons Vynateya had eaten up all the serpents one in a day. When a king named jeemutha vahana tried to rescue a serpant named sankachududu. he lost his life at this place. jeemuthavahana sacrifice his life for a holy cause. Hence in commemoration of his sacrifice, this place started being called as Arphanaphali(Arphana means sacrifice, phali means result). During course of time arphanaphali changed as Appanapalli. Kasyapa prajapathi on the request of jeemuthavahana was convinced to direct vynateya to divert one channel holy river Godavari flow through Appanapalli. This was to sanctify the dead serpents and to liberate their souls to reach heavenly abode. Mean while Vakulamatha the mother of Lord Venkateswara had a longing to see her son as child. Garuthmantha had also requested the lord to make river Vynatheya pious.
