The first boulder has completely disappeared which was behind the current Hanuman Temple and replaced by dwellings. The second boulder was where the current Lord Kalyana Venkateswara temple stands. Both these boulders had huge three vertical lines or Namalu (Telugu) and boulders are called Gundu (Telugu); hence the name Namalagundu.
