Nandavaram
Village
Nandyal district
Andhra Pradesh
Village in Banaganapalle mandal, Nandyal district. Chowdeswari is a lineage goddess widely venerated by trading communities, and the satram here is explicitly an Arya Vysya foundation. Note a place-name collision: there is also a separate Nandavaram mandal in the Adoni revenue division of Kurnool district (recorded separately in the mandal-headquarters tier); the Kurnool and Nandyal district websites both claim the Chowdeswari temple as 'near Kurnool' and 'near Nandyal' respectively, and Wikipedia places the temple village in Banaganapalle mandal, Nandyal district.

high confidence
Official district pages of both Nandyal and Kurnool describe the Chowdeswari Devi temple at Nandavaram: the original deity was considered too fearsome to view, so the sanctum was closed and a replica installed; a Srichakra stands before the deity, worshipped with kumkum archana, and a 15-day Brahmotsavam runs from Devi Navaratri to Pournami.
