mirzam pet near jammikunta

Mirzampeta in Srirampur Mandal on the banks of river Maner is about 56 kms to the east of Karimnagar. It is an early historical site. Near this village while going from Mirzampet to Gumpula village about fifty to sixty megalithic burials are noticed which reveal the antiquity of this place.

One Anumandla Venkataiah, while digging for a well before his house at Pochampalli, the hamlet of Mirzampet a small Buddhist stupa built in stone was unearthed in 1994. It is curious that a casket containing the relics of Buddha, which could not be found in the stupas at Dhulikatta and Pashigoan, is noticed here as reported by late M.Lakshminarayana the native of this place, who worked

as a Technical Assistant and Guide Lecturer at Government museum Karimnagar for a long period.

The sculptures of a four handed Devi, Bhairava and Kalimata are noticed here. Reportedly a Viragal sculpture in red sandstone holding sword and shield is stated to be of a soldier named Katamaya. The stone age tools like hand-axes, querns,

rubbed stones etc noticed here reveal that it is also a prehistoric site. It is curious that a single panavatta in red sand stone containing two lingas is noticed at Kishtampet a near by village to Mirzampet.
