Situated on the banks of the Cheyyeru river, Attirala is a sacred place where Parasurama atoned for his sin of matricide. Likhita, brother of Sage Sankha, regained his severed hands after bathing in the river. The temple is frequented by people of the transgender community who come to atone for their sins and to pray to make them normal human beings in the next birth. It has a Parasurama temple, and two more temples of Gadadhara standing on one leg and one of Threteswara.
