Sree Seetha Ramachandra Swamy Devalayam

As per history of the place and temple this 700-year-old temple was constructed under the supervision of Akka and Bukka and both been the prime ministers under the then Kakatiya Dynasty. The name Devar means temple in Hindustani language. The meaning of Yamjal is unknown. Together Devar and Yamjal means Yamjal that has temple (Temple Yamajal). The specialty of the Temple is the architecture, the ablution pond (Gundam) and the Jaya Vijaya engravements on the entrance of sanctom sanctorum are one of the rare styles. The jaya vijaya engravements are found with four hands and that's rare in any Rama temple con temporarily built, you won't find that even at bhadrachalam. The gundam has 27 sub temples and each for a Nakshtram, which is also a rare sight at any temple in the state. There are 12 aalwar (Vaishnava Guru's) statues in the sanctum of the temple and that's unique too.

EkaMukha Veeranjaneya Swamy Devalayam

The village has two hanuman temples, one in the heart of the village and in its ambience we have navagrahas too, this eka mukha veeranjaneya is a very powerful god and ardent disciples won't give up praying to him every Saturday. Every now and then shanti homas and yagnas are done in the temple. Another anjaneya temple is at the precincts of the village near burial grounds and here at this temple during the vijaya dasham.

Government School

The village is a microcossmic hub for educational activities to all the nearby villages too. The Zilla Praja Parishad unnathta paatashala is the oldest and in fact the best one in the entire mandal. Pupil who once learned their basics in this temple of education with their running noses and innocuous looks, gullible gaits and naughty acts are really proud of their alma mater. To name a few some of its students have gone abroad and got well settled and prospered. One notable example is Dr. Madireddi Malla Reddy who studied at this School went on to become a Professor Emeritus at one of the world famous Universities (The University of California San Diego, USA). This School also produced numerous Doctors and Engineers such as Dr. B. Prahlad Rao, Dr, Narsing Rao, Dr. Malliah and Dr. B. Anand Rao who once served as the famous head master of the high school). Owing to the intense competition from the private education system and entire change in the modern education, ugly politics have rendered the School as ineffective in the modern age and still it has the potential to deliver on par with any modern schools, in fact techno schools provided the parents and the village heads can chalk a suitable action plan for the modernization of the school education system and encourage English medium as the means of imparting the same to the kids..hopefully we can see that change very soon. The school ground is the most spacious one covering swathes of land starting from the water tank till the potters colony.

The primary school is in the heart of the village and till date many kids flung to the it and flag hoisting is done by the sarpanch every year in August 15. Its a good school too.

Private Schools

A popular school, Siva Sivani Public School also has its campus in the village.

The village also has few private schools like Vignan Bharthi ( Baby's Convent School) St. Mary's Convent School, and Evergreen High School,Shameerpet, which do offer their services to the children imparting primary education.
