Bhadrachalam

Bhadrachalam

An amazing testimony for many important events of Ramayana, the holy temple town of Bhadrachalam is located near to River Godavari and blessed with abundant natural beauty. The place is a popular pilgrimage town for housing Sri Sitaramachandra Swamy Temple where Lord Rama is worshipped along with his consort Devi Sita and sibling Lakshmana. It is believed that Lord Rama spent some important days of his 14-year exile in the town. The temple, located on a small hillock, is exquisitely decorated and has beautiful idols of the deities. Other attractions in and around the temple include Narasimha Swamy Temple and Lord Shiva Temple. The meditation hall called Ramadasu Dhyanamandiram is popular for offering breathtaking views of unbound nature around. One can also visit Parnashala (where Rama built a hut) and other holy places located nearby. Boat cruises and camping alongside river banks are some wonderful activities to enjoy here.
