Photographer's Note

Papi Kondalu is a hill range in Andhra Pradesh. Papi kondalu are distributed between Khammam, East Godavari and West Godavari districts. The entrance of Papi kondalu can be seen from Koruturu (West Godavari District). The original name for this hill range was ‘Papidi Kondalu’. Papidi is a rough translation for partition in Telugu. Since this range looks like a well designed partition that splits river Godavari, this name was coined. There is also another idea that the range looks like a partition of a typical Indian Woman's hair line. In due course, it settled for ‘Papi Kondalu’.
