Namalagundu is a residential suburb of Secunderabad, India. The area is located about 1.5 km from the Secunderabad Station. The neighbourhood surroundings of Namalagundu include Chilkalguda, Sitaphalmandi, Warasiguda and Mylargadda.

Etymology

Originally, there were two huge boulders; one sitting a top of a small hill and another boulder bisecting the road towards Sithafalmandi and Mylargadda. The first boulder has completely disappeared, which was behind the current Hanuman Temple and replaced by dwellings. The second boulder was where the current Lord Kalyana Venkateswara temple stands. Both these boulders had huge three vertical lines or Namalu (Telugu), and the boulders are called Gundu (Telugu); hence the name Namalagundu.
