About Ponnur
Ponnur is a town in the Guntur district of the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. A road to Chandole goes south-east and comes to Nidubrolu, where there is a temple with a stone-bearing inscription recording the erection of 90 temples in 1132 CE. An ancient Telugu manuscript entitled 'Ponnuru-Chandavolu Shasanam' was present in Potti Sreeramulu Telugu University. Dhulipalla Narendra Kumar of the Telugu Desam Party is the current MLA of the constituency, who won the 2024 Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly election.
