Anantha Padmanabha Swamy - Visakhapatnam (Vizag)


Devotion - Spiritual Life - Place of Peace


Hi Guysss,


Today I came with a lots of devotion this place changed some of my beliefs and I’m so eagerly waiting to share my experiences over this…..

Anantha Padmanabhaswamy temple which was located nearby Bheemunipatnam,bounded with the mandals of Anandapuram. Actually during my journey over to this place I feel interested over the stories behind the temple and was so pleased to hear about from an old lady who served her entire life under the temple…. So touchy……..

Before our independence this temple which was been allotted 3000 acres by Pusapati  royal family of Vizianagaram and also Raja Sagi a well known Royal family in Pandrangi.

Pusapati Vijaya Rama Gajapathi Raju of Vizianagaram kingdom and Raja Sagi Rama Chandra Raju of the Pandrangi royal family the two kshatriya kings who were against British governance and refused to pay taxes to these Britishers……The Battle of Padmanabham was fought on July 9,1794 between the British led by Colonel Pendergast who was sent by Madras governor and our  Kshatriya king where the king was killed along with nearby 800 soliders by this britisher hence due to lack of advanced weapons. After the death of Pusapati his son was guarded by the Raja Sagi until he was crowned.

The beauty of this temple could be well defined after crossing a huge climb, people feel to cross the steep stairs a huge task for them but to make a darshan of god is not an easy task but step with devotion the almighty help you to cross the lengthy journey so smoothly……. The temple is covered with a big gopuram as all the temples genuinely have in a shape of small pyramid…….. The mandapam over here is not so decorated it needs a  more development, but still we could find ancient beauty….

The Vizianagaram king Krishnadevaraya built his pillar of Victory close to this temple. Actually the pusapatis were the well known chief people of the region….. which was under control of Gajapathis of kalinga  and continues to be trustees of this place….

The Natives of Anantha Padmanabhaswamy temple feel blessed for being there hence the place was surrounded with Peace and greenery everywhere. Basically the place is little unpopular but the people if come to know would not ignore to visit or even revisit.

The beauty of Place comes when it was end of November(Karthika masam) when 1000 of diyas lighted at a time. Mostly Vaishyas would revisit here….. because they were deeply connected with Lord Vishnu. Here Adi sesha(Padmanabha swamy) his smile seems he welcome to all his devotees and posture of relaxation attracts devotees towards….. Sridevi goddess of properity and Bhudevi the goddess of Earth resides either of his sides…..

Guys these are so much connected to me that again I wanna revisit to the place where no place for artificial and filled with natural relief…
