Siripuram is mentioned in the previous studies regarding governance in the 12th century:

Velanati Chodas took a keen interest in excavating tanks and digging canals. Many tanks were dedicated to temples. In Talagadadivi the paddy and sugarcane fields were said to have been abundant with water by tanks in the vicinity. Velanati Choda-II constructed three tanks, one at Siripuram and two at Marripundi in Ungini-marga to a temple. An inscription from Mandapadu, Guntur district, dated 1168 A.D., belonging to the Velanati Rajendra Choda-II, mentions tanks, viz., Prolinayaka cheruvu, Karanam maraya cheruvu, Kotta cheruvu, Narayana cheruvu and a tank (name not mentioned).^[7]

Historical significance

On a stone in front of a ruined temple near the tank in Siripuram is an inscription from A. D. 1165 relating how the Chalukya Kingdom passed into the hands of the Chola kings. Adjoining the village of Patibandla is a mass of black rock crowned by temples said to have been built circa A. D.^{[ clarification needed ]} An inscription in Telugu records that Kondarnanidu, son of Gopapatrudu, on horseback crossed over the rock from west to east. The neighboring villages of Jellil-puram and Musapuram took their names from two Muhammadan jagirdars, Jellil Khan and Musa Khan.^[8]
