लोग
| नाम | वर्ष | क्षेत्र | किसलिए मशहूर |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tallapaka Annamacharya | 1408–1503 | Poet-composer | From Tallapaka in the Kadapa country. Composed devotional songs on Venkateswara in Telugu rather than Sanskrit, over a working life at Tirumala, and is generally treated as the founder of the Telugu sankeertana tradition. Around 13,000 of his texts survive engraved on copper plates recovered from the temple; the melodies do not. |
| Atukuri Molla | 16th century | Poet | A potter's daughter from Gopavaram in the Kadapa country who wrote a Telugu Ramayana in deliberately plain language, stating in her own preface that poetry loaded with Sanskrit compounds serves the poet and not the listener. |
| Sri Krishnadevaraya | r. 1509–1529 | Vijayanagara ruler and poet | Wrote the Telugu poem Amuktamalyada, endowed temples across this region and made repeated recorded visits to Tirumala, where his portrait sculptures stand. The empire he ruled from Hampi retreated into this country after 1565 and governed from Penukonda. |
| Vemana | 17th century, traditionally | Poet | Wrote several thousand four-line verses in the plainest spoken Telugu, attacking ritual, caste pretension and greed, each closing with the same refrain. His samadhi is at Katarupalli in the Kadapa country. He is quoted daily by people who have never read a book of poetry. |
| Tarigonda Vengamamba | c. 1730–1817 | Poet and devotee | A widowed woman of Tarigonda who wrote Telugu devotional verse and prose and secured a permanent ritual role at Tirumala against considerable opposition; the muthyala harathi performed at the close of the day's service is attributed to her. |
| Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy | 1806–1847 | Chieftain | A Kurnool-country poligar who led an armed revolt against Company revenue collection in 1846–47 and was tried and executed at Koilkuntla. The rising is one of the earliest documented armed challenges to Company revenue administration in south India. |
| Charles Philip Brown | 1798–1884 | Scholar and administrator | A Company official posted at Kadapa who spent his own money employing scribes to collect, copy and edit Telugu manuscripts, produced a Telugu–English dictionary and a grammar, and recovered and published Vemana's verses. A substantial part of the pre-modern Telugu corpus survives because he had it copied. |
| Rallapalli Anantakrishna Sarma | 1893–1979 | Musicologist and scholar | From the Anantapur country; worked on the Annamacharya copper plates at Tirupati and set a large number of the recovered texts to music, which is why they can be performed at all. |
| Chittoor V. Nagaiah | 1904–1973 | Actor, singer and composer | Acted, sang, scored and produced in early Telugu and Tamil cinema, most durably in Thyagayya. He financed his own films, lost everything doing it, and spent his last years in small parts. |
| Vidwan Viswam | 1915–1987 | Poet and journalist | Wrote Pennetigatha, a long poem taking the Penna river and the drought around it as its subject — one of the few substantial Telugu literary works about the region's actual hydrology. |
| Sathya Sai Baba | 1926–2011 | Religious figure | Born at Puttaparthi. The institutions built around him — a university, a specialty hospital and a large drinking-water scheme for the surrounding dryland districts — reshaped a village in one of the driest parts of India into an international destination. |
| Neelam Sanjiva Reddy | 1913–1996 | Public office | From the Anantapur country; served as President of India from 1977 to 1982, and earlier as Speaker of the Lok Sabha. |
