BHADRACHALAM

THE TEMPLE

This sacred shrine, the biggest draw, of course, next to Tirupati in Andhra Pradesh lies on the Bhadragiri, drenched by the holy waters of ever flowing river Godavari in the Khammam district of Andhra Pradesh. Built atop of a hillock it is a landmark, inspiring devotion by its high towers visible to people for some miles off: There are broad flights of steps to reach the sanctum, well-built with Muslim funds, but augmented and expanded with great patrons and philanthropists later. The inscriptions on the walls and Copper plates narrate date wise development of this hallowed shrine growing in importance with the passage of time faster than the sophisticated institutions as testified by the ever increasing repeated influxes of pilgrims from all parts of the world, particularly from the communities of Rama bhaktas of Hanuma type, who enthroned Sri Rama in their hearts.
