== History ==
Elamanchilii was once called '''Ellamanchi'''. It was the capital of the Madhyama Kalinga (Central Kalinga) kingdom, which extended from the [[Champavathi River]] to the [[Varaha River]]. The town was used for tax collection, as it is on the border of these areas. Kalla Varahala Naidu (Vara Naidu) was once the king of Elamanchili.

Many historical and archaeological findings were found surrounding Elamanchili, dating back the history of this town to the times of early Buddhism in India, Jainism, and medieval Hinduism. The [[Kotturu Dhanadibbalu]] Buddhist and Dharapalem Hindu sites respectively are near this town. This particular area of Elamanchili was once under the rule of Andhra-Sathavahanas.

Vishnuvardhana ruled over a kingdom extending from Nellore to Visakhapatnam. He assumed the title of Vishamasiddhi (conqueror of difficulties). Vishnuvardhana participated in the wars between his brother Putekesin II and the Pallava Narasimhavarma I and probably lost his life in battle in 641 CE.
