This
place is associated with the famous Maharshi Durvas and was called
Durvasapuram in the past. Among the four temples dedicated to
Venugopalaswamy, Seetharamaswamy, Kesavaswamy and Nageswaraswamy the
last one is deemed to have been built in the Dwapara yuga. Besides
the Sivalinga, there lies the granite icon of Mother Parvathi called
here as Parvathavardhini, and she reveals herself like a young girl
aged five only. It is its speciality and is drawing attention and
veneration by devotees.
It
lies 6 km off Tanaku town of West Godavari district of Andhra
Pradesh and can be reached by bus and train.
