Satyanarayana Swamy Temple in Visakhapatnam
Brought to you by Telugu Malaysia
"Annavaram is one of the most famous Holy Shrines in India second place after after Tirupati in Andhra Pradesh. Satyanarayanaswamy temple is built in the Dravidian style and the glory and richness of Lord SATYADEVA was widely described in Revakhanda of Skandhapuranam.
The presiding deity Lord Satyadeva with his consort Sri Anantha Lakshmi on one Side and with Lord Siva on the other side took his abode on Ratnagiri, which is named after Ratnakara, son of Meru the king of holy mountains. Like in all Divyakshetrams as surrounded and followed by holy rivers, Sri Satyanarayana Swamy at Annavaram is also followed by sacred Pampa River touching the feet of the hill.
Lord Satyadeva the god of truth is showering his eternal blessings on mankind in his beautiful manifested form of the DIVINE TRINITY namely Hari Hara Hiranya Garbha Thrimurtyatmaka. Hence this is only the temple that is attracting the Pilgrims of both Vishanava and Saiva Hindu religion" . -Source

This great temple built in the 11th century by the King Sri Krishnadevarayam, is one of its kind in the country. Inscriptions on the temple date back to 1098 AD.- Source
Sri Krishna Deva Raya after defeating the Gajapati ruler of Orissa Gajapati Prataparudra Dev visited the shrine twice in 1516 AD and 1519 AD and offered numerous villages for maintenance of bhogam (worship) along with valuable jewellery of which an emerald necklace is still in the temple. For the last three centuries the Royal family of Vizianagaram, ” The Pusapati Gajapathi’s” have been the temple’s trustees. -Source

A Famous Temple In North Andhra - Sri Sri Sri Nookambica Ammavaru /Anakapalle Nookalamma Temple
"Sri Nookambica Ammavari temple is the popular Holy shrine of goddess Nookambica Ammavaru, located in Gavarapalem, Anakapalle. This temple is also popularly known as Sri Anagha Devi temple, Sri Sri Sri Nookambica Ammavaru, Nookalamma temple and Kakatambika temple. The godess Sri Nookambica Ammavaru is one of the nine Shakti forms and prominently known as Sri Anagha Devi during ancient period. During the Kakatiyas period this temple was renovated and goddess Nookambika was worshipped with the name Sri Kakatamba. On “Kottha Amavasya,” a day before Ugadi, thousands of devotees throng to this temple from various regions of the state for worship Sri Nookambica Devi. Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday are regarded as auspicious days for performing puja to Sri Nookalamma/Sri Nookambika Ammavaru/Sri Kakatamba." - Excerpt from www.hoparoundindia.com
"Sri Nookambica Ammavaru is a mighty deity in north Andhra pradesh. This temple has 550 years of history. In 1450's anakapalli was ruled by a kalinga king named kakarlapudi appalaraju. He built a fort in anakapalli and built a temple for kakatamba on south side of his fort. Later on anakapalli was ruled by king jagannadha raju payakarao, when britishers ruled India. He was hanged to death when he lost the battle with britishers in the war at payakaraopet. Britisher's appointed vijayanagaram raju as king in this place. They changed the name of the deity to nookambica. Next to this king gode gajanadha raju was appointed as king by vijayanaram raju. This king didn't pay tax to the britishers for a long time so the fort was auctioned by britishers. And in this auction pydicherla anadaraju bought the fort. And till today they are acting as the trusties for the temple. In 1953 the temple was under taken by the government. Every year a jatara takes place for one month from the day before ugadi. This temple is having 8 cottages, a queue complex and kalyanamandapam."- Excerpt from http://nookalamma.blogspot.com
"It is believed that the creator of the universe was Sri Shakti Ammavaru and that the creation took place in the time period from Palguna Bahula Amavasya (the new moon day) to April (new moon day). During this holy period there are a lot of religious rituals and pujas that are performed to Sri Nookambica Ammavaru. Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday are considered auspicious days for performing puja to Sri Nookambika Ammavaru." -Excerpt from www.wikepedia.com
