Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value.

Pattikonda Village

-Head-quarters of the taluk of the same name in Kurnool District, Madras, situated in 15 24' N. and 77 31' E. The population in 1901 was 4,373, and it is a Union under the Madras Local Boards Act V of 1884. It consists of two portions : the old pettah^ and the new Munro's pettah which is named after Sir Thomas Munro, Governor of Madras, who died here of cholera on July 6, 1827, when on tour. To his memory Govern- ment constructed a fine stone-faced reservoir, built a mantapam, or porch, close by, and planted round it a grove of tamarind-trees. The grove and well are maintained by the Ramallakota taluk board. A weekly market is held in front of the grove.
