The Chennakesava temple, sometimes referred simply as Pushpagiri temples group, is one of three major group of temples on both sides of the Penna river, in the ancient Hindu monastery center of Pushpagiri (Andhra Pradesh). This should not be confused with the equally historic Pushpagiri site of Odisha.

The Chennakesava temples complex is actually a Shiva-Vishnu twin temples complex found on the eastern bank of the Penna river, near the Kamala Sambhaveswara and other subgroups of Hindu temples. This group consists of temples added over many centuries, mostly related to the Advaita Vedanta monastic tradition. The oldest layer is from the Chola period, while the youngest historic temples are from the Vijayanagara period. Some monuments and a museum has been rebuilt for safety and preservation in the 21st century.
