Pemmasani Timmanayudu I, also known as Thimma Nayudu, was the progenitor of the Pemmasani Nayaks, as per the kaifiyat of Tadipatri.[1] The Pemmasani migrated from Telugu regions to serve the Vijayanagara Empire militarily.[2]

Pemmasani Timmanayudu first entered into the service of the Vijayanagara Empire as the keeper of the royal pigeons.[1] Praudha Devaraya (Devaraya II) sent Timmanayudu I to Yadiki, where Timmanayudu constructed a fort with four bastions.[1] Moreover, Timmanayudu built one temple for Veerabhadra and one temple for Ganapati because their idols were found during the construction of the Yadiki Fort.[1]

Pemmasani Timmanayudu I administered Yadiki and its adjoining territory for sometime. He died there and was succeeded by his son, Ramalinganayudu I.[1]
