VIJAYAWADA |
|
|
| The place
Vijayawada is surrounded by many hillocks and the most important of them is Seethanagaram,
while the less important is called the Kanakadurga or Kanaka konda. On the southern side
of the Kanakadurga temple, is a hillock with sculptures bearing inscriptions, indicating
the names of Gods and Goddesses cut below them. Most of these figures are forms of the
Goddess in her aspect of Durga, which are dealt with in the Mantra Sastras. Traditionally
these hills were originally continuous and at the command of the Lord, they got separated,
making enough space for the river Krishna to pass through. |
