Koneru center: This traffic square is the busiest in Machilipatnam. The word "Koneru" in Telugu means Temple Pond wherein the visitors to the nearby temple wash their feet and take a bath before entering the temple. Most likely, historically the current Koneru Center is located at what used to be a Koneru (Temple Pond). There is a traffic circle with a fountain at the Koneru Center now. At the center of that traffic circle, there is an obelisk. The obelisk bears the stone inscription that it was erected by the people of Machilipatnam in honor of George Thronhill Esq, MCS, British collector at that time for his leadership and heroic rescue services during the great cyclone of 1st Nov 1864.

Koneru Center also serves as a starting place for many APSRTC route buses. It is a business center for many wholesalers, as well as retailers, jewellers, sweet shops, stationers, gift vendors, fruit and vegetable vendors.
