Konidena is a small village in Ballikurava mandal and Prakasam district of the state of Andhra Pradesh, India. It is around 60 km from Guntur and 20 km from Narasaraopet, capital of the Konidena Chola kingdom who once ruled parts of Palnadu region, though neither the village nor its surrounding areas show any such signs. The ancient Konidena was present around the hill present in Konidena. As time passed it moved to north-east of the hill.
It is famous for its 1,00,00,001 statues and 101 wells in ancient days. It is 7 km far from the national highway No.5. Martur is the village present on the highway. At the time of the Kakatiya Cholas (the ruling caste of the Chola kingdom, as Konidena was its headquarters), soldiers would change their duty at this Martur (in Telugu maruta=change, ooru=village or any living place).
