It comes under Dhone assembly constituency and Nandyal Parliament Constituency. Bethalpuram is the oldest name of this village which is known as Bethamcharla. A few centuries ago there was a big pond in this area. The reason is that it is a rocky area where water does not stand. It was in the sixth century that people used to quench their thirst here, grow dairy crops, and provide water to horses, thus the area was known as Betham pond. The Chalukyas who ruled the region dug a big pond here. Later in the course of time it was transformed into Bethamcherla. For some time, the body of water here has merged into the womb of time. There are hundreds of centuries old temples around this Bethamcherla area. When the name of Bethamcherla town is mentioned, the world famous Chalwa Rati comes to mind. Once upon a time, rocks from all over the world used to go from this area.
