                            Penukonda  was  once  served  as  the  2nd  capital  of  Vijayanagar
                     Kingdom after the fall of Hampi and was earlier called as Ghanagiri or

                     Ghanadri. The proposed government site is located on State Highway 383

                     connecting Penukonda and Madakasira. Buses that go to Madakasira and

                     Roddam follow this route. The site's land use is not classified. Despite being
                     near a state highway, the location has less noise pollution, and traffic.
