Kanipakam is a village located in Irala mandal of Chittoor district, Andhra Pradesh in South India. It is home to a popular Hindu temple of Lord Ganesha called as Kanipakam Vinayaka Temple. It was constructed in the early 11th century CE by the Chola king Kulothunga Chola I and was expanded further in 1336 by the Emperors of Vijayanagara dynasty. Local legends claim that the idol of Ganesha continuously grows in size. The size of the temple till 20 years back would not justify to say that this temple was patronaged by Chola and Vijayanagara kings.
The temples of Cholas and Vijayanagaras are normally magnificent in size and grandeur. Most of the present structures are of recent origin and the present major developmental and construction activities of the temple are well supported by offerings given to the temple by the devotees. The god is very powerful over here.many devotees are visiting here.
