<br />
<br />
Beechupally is home to a famous shrine of god Hanuman (Anjaneya Swamy). The shrine is located on the banks of river Krishna approximately 30 kilometers downstream of Jurala Hydro Electric Project in Mahabubnagar district of Telangana.<br />
<br />
The shrine development is boosted by the fact that national highway (NH7) passes through the village. A road bridge constructed here in 1950s helped in booming trade between Telangana and Rayalaseema regions and is considered one of the first and vital connections between south India and central/north India.The shrine consists of a Hanuman temple located 200 meters away from the river while there is a Shiva lingam near the river. During peak monsoon, the raging waters touch the Shiva lingam temple. Here a Lord Rama temple was constructed in 1992. The shrine also has several ghats for the purpose of pushkara snanam, which falls once in every 12 years. The Beechupally shrine is located near two islands on the Krishna River and the larger island is called Gurram Gadda village while the small island is called Nizam Konda. The temple is popular among devotees who believe that their wishes are fulfilled upon worshipping Anjaneya Swamy here at Beechupally. The temple is located 200 yards away from the road.<br />
<br />
<b>History of Temple</b><br />
During Fifteenth centaury the Rajaguru of Sri Krishna Devaraya of Vijayanagar dynasty ‘Sri Vyasaraja’ happens to pass through this holy place. He along with his disciples camped at this place for some time and the Sri Guru felt the holiness of this place. He thought it would be suitable place to install a Sri Hanuman idol at this holy place.<br />
<br />
Sri Vyasaraja wanted to transform his thought to practice and then made a beautiful idol of Sri Anjaneya. At the time he was leaving this place he thought about a question in his mind that who should be performing pooja to deity once he left that place. That night in his dream Lord Sri Anjaneya appeared and gave him the solution for this. The Deity of Lord Sri Anjaneya was installed by Sri Vyasaraja on an auspicious day. The next morning by the time he wakes up from sleep he saw a young tribal boy offering prayers to Lord Anjaneya installed by him. That young tribal boy name is ‘Beechupally’. Vyasaraja nominated that small young boy of Boya Tribe as archaka for this temple. From then onwards he became Archaka for that temple. Even today the people belonging to this tribe are nominated as archakas for this Anjaneyaswamy Temple. Lord here is called as ‘Beechupally Rayudu’.<br />
<br />
<b>Other Shrines near the </b><b>Beechupally </b><b>Temple</b><br />
Hanuman Temple is about 200 meters away from the river and there is a Shiva Temple near the river. During the rainy season, the water flow becomes high enough to touch the Shivalingam in this temple. A Temple for Lord Rama was also built in this area in 1992. For the convenience of devotees, several ghats were built for Pushkara snanam, a sacred bath that takes place every 12 years. Since then its development continued to expand. In 2004 Pushkaras, the shrine was developed with greater facilities making it one of the major places for Pushkara snanam.<br />
<br />
<b>Why the place is named Beechupally</b><br />
Lord Anjaneya had ordained Sri Vyasaraja that the first person who offers prayer next day of installation should to nominated as archaka of the deity here. As instructed by Lord Anjaneya, Sri Vyasaraja nominated the young boy named ‘Beechupally’ belonging to ‘Boya’ tribe as Archaka of the Lord Anjaneya from then on. From then onwards he became the Archaka and till today persons belonging to Boya Tribe are the archakas of the temple. The village itself was named ’Beechupally’ after the first Boya tribe Archaka, and the Lord as 'Beechupally rayudu'.<br />
<br />
<b>Temple for Beechupally rayudu</b><br />
A small shrine was built about two hundred years ago by Gadwal kings. A Siva temple was also built in the premises, during the same period.<br />
<br />
Since the course of the River had changed over years the shrines of both Lord Anjaneya and Lord Siva were only two hundred meters away from the bank of the River. During the monsoon the River use to swell and some years enter the Lord Siva temple. In the recent past the both the temples were renovated and the river banks were strengthened with good ghats.<br />
<br />
A temple for Lord Rama was also built in the area in 1992.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Beechupally shrine is near two islands on the Krishna River. A larger island Gurram Gadda village, smaller island on the east side is called Nizam Konda which is a port belongs to Nizam Nawabs.<br />
<br />
It is located at a distance of nearly 150 km from Hyderabad and accessible through national highway 7 from Hyderabad to Bangalore. The temple is located adjacent to the national highway.<br />
<br />
Haritha Hotel, Gadwal is the nearby destination for quality food. There are many dhabas and restaurants dotting the national highway.<br />

The Alampur Navabrahma temples are located at Alampur in the Andhra Pradesh. There are totally nine temples in Alampur. These nine temples are dedicated to the Lord Shiva. It is said that these temples were built by the Badami Chalukya rulers, who were great patrons of art and architecture. The temple is well known for its architectural heritage of the country. This temple’s architecture resembles both the northern and western Indian styles .<br />
The Navabrahma temples are present on the left banks of the Tungabhadra river, enclosed in a courtyard. The Nava Brahma temples are Taraka Brahma, Swarga Brahma, Padma Brahma, Bala Brahma, Garuda Brahma, and Arka Brahma, Kumara Brahma, Veera Brahma and Viswa Brahma.<br />
<br />
1.Swarga Brahma<br />
It is mentioned in an inscription which is above the Dwarapalaka image, that Swarga Brahma temple was built during 681-696 AD, by Lokaditya Ela Arasa in honour of the queen of Vinayaditya. This is the best example of the Badami Chalukya architecture and sculpture. This temple is the most elaborately ornamented temple. Its imposing tower (Rekhanagara vimana) is the finest, compared to other temples at Alampur.<br />
2.Padma Brahma<br />
Padma Brahma temple has a polished stone sculpture of Shivalinga .<br />

6.Kumara Brahma<br />
7.Arka Brahma<br />
8.Vira Brahma<br />

<br />
As per mythology, this is one of the Sakthi peetam, where “oordhava danta pankthi” (upper jaw with tooth) of Sati Devi fell here in this place.<br />
<br />
In the year 1930 the temple was demolished by Muslim invaders. The main idol and consorts were damaged by them. Disfigured idols of Jogulamba and other deities were, protected and repaired by devotees who placed them in Bala Brahma temple.<br />
<br />
Goddess Jogulamba is seen in sitting posture. She is also known as Gruha Chandi. When aarthy is performed, one can see bat, lizard, scorpion and skull adorned in her hair.<br />
<br />
As per legand, Maharishi Jamadagni lived with his wife Renuka Devi and his sons worshiping Bala Brahma Swamy. Mother Renuka used to make a pot of mud daily and used to fetch water for pooja purpose. One day she saw Gandravas bathing in river with their wives. She was disturbed by them and was not able to make a pot on that day, and hence she returned home empty handed. When sage Jamadagni came to know about what had happened, he angrily asked his son to remove her head. His sons were not ready to do the act and he cursed them. Parasurama his youngest son agreed to do and he cut the head of his mother. The sage was pleased with his son and offered him a boon. He prayed to his father to give life to his brothers and mother, as the boon. Life was given to them accordingly.<br />
<br />
Legend says that head of mother Renuka became Ekaveera Devi, symbol of Maya Roopa and the headless body became Bhoodevi symbol of Mathru roopam.<br />

Alampur Jogulamba Temple situated in Mahbubnagar district, in the state of Telangana. At a distance of 218 kms from Hyderabad, 22 Kms from Kurnool, 126 Kms from Mahbubnagar & 200 kms from Srisailam, Alampur is a historical place located in Mahbubnagar district of Telangana. Alampur is famous for Jogulamba Temple (a Shakti Peetha), Navabrahma temples and Sangameswara Temple built in 7th century. Alampur is considered as the western gateway for the famous Srisailam Temple. The temple consists of several inscriptions dated between 7th and 16th centuries.Alampur is the meeting point of the sacred rivers Tungabhadra and Krishna and is referred to as Dakshina Kashi(also known as Navabrahmeshwara Theertha) and the Western Gateway of Srisailam, the famous Shaivite (Shaivism) pilgrim centre.<br />
<br />
<b>Jogulamba Temple</b><br />
<br />
Old temple of Jogulamba was destroyed by Bahamani sultans in the 14th century. The idols of Jogulamba and her two shaktis Chandi, Mundi were protected from them and placed in Bala brahmeswara swamy temple untill 2005. Now, a new temple was constructed in the same place and the godess was shifted in to it. New temple of Jogulamba is very much beautiful to see with a nice granite flooring. It is surrounded by a water pool. Villagers of Alampur tell an interesting reason for it: Jogulamba is an Ugra rupa (highly energetic and hard to worship) and this water pool makes the atmosphere cool so that we can easily worship her”.<br />
<br />
Idol of Jogulamba is typical. She is in sitting position. She has huge amount of hair with lizard, scorpion, owl and a human scull in it. Idols of Saptamatrikas, Vighneswara and Veenapani veerabhadra are also present in the temple. Original Chandi Mundi idols were left in Bala brahmeswara swamy temple and new idols are made and placed in Jogulamba temple.<br />
<br />
The original Jogulamba Temple and Taraka Brahma Temple were completely demolished by Bahamani Sultan army towards the end of 14th century. Vijayanaraga king Harihara Raya sent his army to stop the plunder of Bahamani Sultan's army and fortified the temple complex to stop further attacks on the temple.<br />
<br />
The temples at Alampur could not be preserved pretty well, primarily due to the encroachments, lack of space and religious activity of Jogulamba and Balabrahma temples.<br />
<br />
It takes about 3-4 hours to visit all the places in Alampur.<br />

<img src="http://www.telanganastateinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/bogatha_waterfalls.jpg" />Bogatha Waterfall is waterfall located in Koyaveerapuram G, Wazeedu Mandal, Khammam district, Telangana.[1] It is located 120 Km from Bhadrachalam, 140km away from Warangal and 329Km from Hyderabad. As the newly constructed Eturnagaram bridge on NH 202 reduced the distance to 329km from 440km. A beautiful waterfall in the dense forest. To see the most beautiful and attractive waterfall…. The natural beauty of nature.<br />
<br />
Amazing waterfalls in Khammam District,Telangana state. 2nd largest waterfall in Telangana region. Everyone must carry water and food, as there is no restaurant to and shops to provide you the amenities at water falls.<br />
<br />
Even though water flows throughout the year, Good time to visit is after monsoon between June & November. There is no proper road facility, so people have to trek for some distance to reach the waterfall.<br />
<br />
Also, it's better if Telangana Govt. provide proper security, transportation and other facilities. Currently, huge number of tourists coming on weekends. Bogatha other name is telangana nayagara jalapatham.<br />
<br />
It is located 120 Km from Bhadrachalam and 440 Km from Hyderabad, it will reduce distance to 265 Km from Hyderabad once the Eturnagaram bridge construction completed on NH 202.<br />

<br />
<a href="http://visakhapatnamtourism.blogspot.in/">Vizag</a> trip will not be complete until you visit Araku Valley and Borra caves. Araku Valley is situated at distance of 120km from vizag which can be accessed via road or train. Train Journey to Araku is preferably best than taking road route as rail passes through tunnels, hill sides and streams. Every day at 7 AM there is a train to araku from vizag, and the best way to go to Araku will be through APTDC as they have a custom package to araku via train and they will show us entirely. If you are at Araku then you must see<br />
<br />
Borra Caves. There are many resorts available on the way to araku, but a one day is sufficient for covering all the places in araku.<br />

<br />
<b>Srisailam</b><br />
<br />
Srisailam,which is located at a distance of 250 km from Hyderabad is famous temple of Lord Mallikarjuna Swamy(shiva) which is one among the twelve Jyothirlingas in India and also for Goddess Bhramaramba Devi temple which is one among the eighteen Mahasakthis. Many people have an wrong impression that it is only a holy place and just need a couple of hours to complete the trip. As it was situated in the Nallamala forest region it offers many scenic views and also we can spot some animals, even a tiger as it is an tiger reserve forest.<br />
<br />
The important Places to interest in srisailam are Shiva Temple, Ista Kameswari temple which is situated 20 km deep inside the forest only be accessed through commander jeeps, Srisailam dam, Rope way to patalaganga - we can enjoy the beautiful view of Krishna river and nallamala forest, Boat ride to Akkamahadevi Caves on the backwaters of Krishna - worthy boat ride, shikaram - highest point in srisailam. The best among these places are road trip to ista kameswari temple and boat ride to akkamahadevi caves.<br />

<b>Papikondalu to Bhadrachalam boat ride</b><br />
<br />
Papikondalu are a series of&nbsp; hills on the banks of river godavari near to rajamundry which is located at a distance of 400km from Hyderabad. We can have an spectacular view of these mountain ranges while passing through the godavari river, which became famous after the 'Godavari Movie'.<br />
<br />
APTDC and also many private operators operates boat ride passing through papikondalu from rajamundry. We select from three available options for the boat ride, First option is one day trip to papikondalu, second option is two day trip to papikondalu- where we can stay at log huts on the banks of river godavari and also they will arrange trekking into the forest, the third option is a two day trip from rajamundry to bhadrachalam through papikondalu and also night stay at log huts, dropping at bhadrachalam. Personally i will recommend second option as we can spend weekend leisurely enjoying the beautiful mountain ranges and godavari river.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Places near to Kurnool</b> - Yaganti , Ahobilam, Belum Caves, Nandhyal, Gandikota<br />
<br />
Belum Caves is the second largest cave in Indian subcontinent and the longest caves in plains of Indian Subcontinent, known for its stalactite and stalagmite formations. It is located at distance of 110km from kurnool. Belum Caves have long passages, spacious chambers, fresh water galleries and siphons. The caves reach its deepest point (120 feet from entrance level) at the point known as Patalaganga. Belum Caves has a length of 3229 meters, making it the second largest natural caves in Indian Subcontinent.<br />
<br />
Sri Yagantiswamy Temple in Banaganapalle mandal of Kurnool district, is a popular Lord Shiva Temple, which is located 17 km away from Banagapalle. An amazing feature at this temple is its Pushkarini. No one knows how the water flows out from the bottom of hill to the Pushkarini in all the seasons. According to Potuluri Veera Brahmam, the Basavanna of Yaganti will come out and shout when Kaliyuga ends. People believe that the stone Nandiswara (Basavanna) is increasing in its size. This place is also famous for the thre caves Agasya caves, Venkateswara caves, Veera Brahmam Caves.<br />
<br />
There are two other temples Ahobilam and Mahanandi which are few km from Nandhyal(70km from kurnool) which are also worth visiting. On the way from Nandhyal to kurnool, we can vist Rock Garden @ Orvakal, spread over approximately 1000 acres. Gandikota is also known as "Indian Grand Canyon" is a must visit place in Andhra Pradesh<br />
<br />
<b>Tirupathi, Talakona falls and Horsley Hills</b><br />
<br />
Talakona waterfalls, amidst the the Sheshachalam range of Venkateshwara reserve forest is just 50 kms from Tirupati, and is almost equi-distant from Chennai (220 kms) and Bangalore (300 kms). If you want to stay away from city busy life and want to spent weekend relaxing in the forest, this place is an ideal one. Talakona falls is the highest waterfalls in andhrapradesh and the best time to visit is from oct- feb.<br />
<br />
We can stay at log huts at talakona organized by the local people, which is very affordable. And also one can get the chance of eating the local food which will be very tasty and spicy. There is an option for going into the forest using the AP forest department vehicles.<br />
<br />
<b> Horsley Hills,</b> situated at an altitude of 1200mts is one of the best hill station in AP. It is located at a distance of 180km from Bangalore, 150km from tirupathi and the nearest town is madanapalli.

<br />
<b>Nagarjuna sagar dam and Ettipotala waterfalls:-</b> Located at a distance of 150 km from Hyderabad, Nagarjunasagar is an important irrigation dam on river Krishna. This is the tallest and biggest masonry dam in the world, creating the third largest man-made lake in the world. Apart from this, some remains of the Buddhist civilization dating back to the 3rd century A.D, are seen on an island called Nagarjunakonda located in a man-made lake on the other side of the river Krishna.<br />
<br />
<b>Ethipothala </b>is a mountain stream cascading down the hills from a height of 21.3 meters into a lagoon. This waterfall is a combination of three streams namely Chandravanka Vagu, Nakkala Vagu &amp; Tummala Vagu. The dazzling lagoon formed by the falls has a crocodile-breeding centre. After flowing for 3 km, this stream joins with the river Krishna. Ranganadha and Dattatreya temples are found near the waterfalls. People believe that the caves near the waterfalls go to Srisailam. It is just few distance from dam site and if you want to watch it closely, we have to do some unofficial trek down the hill. AP tourism organizing hotels as well as restaurants for the tourists visiting nagarjuna sagar.<br />
<br />
Main attraction will be the dam and the waterfalls. AP tourism organises boat ride on the krishna river which will take us to the nagarjuna konda. Nagarjunakonda is an interesting island museum located in the midst of the Nagarjuna Sagar Lake. The museum houses significant relics of Buddhist culture and art that make it an important place to visit during a tour to Nagarjuna Sagar. There is another boat ride from nagarjuna sagar which will take us to srisailam on the river Krishna, which is also a worth visiting.<br />

The Warangal fort may not be that popular today for its importance in the history, the place is still a hotspot to witness the ancient <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Indian architecture</strong> intact in the<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">ruins.</strong> The pillars and their inscriptions draw thousands of visitors every year to this place. Though the origin of the fort is not confidently known, the fort has been put under the care of <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">ASI</strong> to preserve the remains.

Himayat Sagar and Hussain Sagar Lake are both man-made lakes which are often clubbed in all trips to Hyderabad. The Himayat Sagar Lake offers the visitors peace and tranquility at a <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">short distance from the busy city of Hyderabad</strong>. It is <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">best visited around sunset</strong> when the waters and the rays of the sun dipping at the horizon bring out a beautiful hue. Hussain Sagar Lake on the other hand with a<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">gigantic statue of Lord Buddha</strong> (The Awakened One) at the center is situated in the main city itself. Night time view of the lake is a must-have experience for anyone visiting the city.</div>

It would not be appropriate for us to put into words the <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">delicacies that Telangana</strong> has to offer. The spicy aroma of the <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Biryani</strong> is enough to make anyone hungry at all times. The offerings – both <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">veg and non-veg Biryani</strong>- are said to be the best here. Any trip to Telangana or Hyderabad is incomplete without at least one proper meal from the <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">kitchens of the Nizams</strong>. And no matter how much you try, stopping at one is simply not possible. Apart from Hyderabadi cuisine, <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Karachi bakery</strong> situated in Hyderabad offers one of the most delicious cookies and biscuits that one cannot miss while on a <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">trip to Tourist Places in Telangana</strong>.</div>

Sri Kaleshwara Muktheswara Swamy Temple – One of the Trilingams of Telugu Land</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px;">
Kaleshwaram, the town lying on the border of Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra, is famous for housing an ancient Karimnagar temple. This is the famous Kaleshwara Mukteshwara Swamy Temple Kaleshwaram.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; margin-top: 1em; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px;">
This ancient temple is dedicated to the worship of Lord Shiva. The most unique aspect in this temple is the presence of two Shiva Lingams that can be seen on a single pedestal or Panavattam. One belongs to Lord Shiva (Mukteshwara) and the other belongs to Lord Yama (Kaleshwar). As a result of this dual presence the temple has been named Kaleshwara Mukteswara Swamy Temple.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; margin-top: 1em; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px;">
Karimnagar tourism gains from the historical significance of this temple. It is believed that this temple of Lord Shiva is of the three Lord Shiva Temples of Trilinga Desham (also called as Land of Three Lingas which is the land of Telugu speaking people). All the three temples are Jyotirlingas that adorn the three corners of Telugu Land. The other two it is said can be seen at Draksharamam and Srishailam.</div>

The ancient Karimnagar temple is replete with several unique features which instills reverence in the hearts of devotees. Mukteshwara linga comprises a hole which can never be filled with water no matter how much is poured into it. Science has failed to provide any explanation. However, there are indications of an underground passage which travels all the way to the Godavari river which could be a logical explanation. Nevertheless, the temple allures devotees with its mystic charm.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; margin-top: 1em; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px;">
The temple continues to trigger curiosity about its history. There are indications of Buddhist traditions and rituals being followed within its sacred walls. The presence of these signs generates new ingredients for research.The walls of this ancient Karimnagar temple are replete with rare sculptures like those of Surya, Matsya and Brahma. The intricate detailing of these engravings is truly a pleasure to behold. Another interesting sculpture is the fish idol that is seen here. Though the origin of this sculpture is unknown it is remarkable for its structure and style.</div>

Skanda Purana, the text which is considered to be one of the largest of the Mahapuranas devotes verses and chants describing the Lilas or activities of Karthikeya, the son of Shiva and Parvati. In the process it also describes several legends on Shiva. One of the most famous narratives is about the Jyotirlingas or the holy shrines associated with Lord Shiva. The Kaleshwara Mukteshwara Swamy temple therefore finds vivid reference in the narratives of the Skanda Purana.</div>

One can also find Kakatiyas architecture in Kaleshwaram Temple. The big Shiva Linga in the Temple premises is similar to the structure of Shiva Linga in Ramappa Temple.</div>

Karimnagar Tourism includes Kaleshwaram in its map as a revered Tirtha Khetra or spot for pilgrimage. This is attributed primarily to the presence of several holy temples dedicated to Shaivites as well as Vaishnavites. Some of the well-known ones include Venkateswara Aalayam, Bindu Madhavaswamy Aalayam, Chandrasekhara Aalayam, and Someswara Aalayam.</div>

This hill place which is encircled by holy river Godavari flowing towards southern direction is the famous shrine Bhadrachalam-The name derived from Bhadragiri (Mountain of Bhadra-a boon child of Meru and Menaka). According to a Ithihasas, the significance of this shrine dates back to the Ramayana Era. This coherent hill place existed in "Dandakaranya" Of Ramayana period where Rama with his consort Sita and brother Laxmana had spent their vanavasa- and Parnashaala(the place connected to the famous Golden Deer and the place from where Sita was abducted by Ravana.) is also in the vicinity of this temple site. It is at this Mandir site that, long after Ramavatara, Bhagawan Mahavishnu manifested Himself as Rama again to fulfil a promise He made to His Bhakta Bhadra, who continued his Tapas through Yugas, praying for the grace of the Bhagawan Sri Ramachandra murthy.</td></tr>

Exigency of Incarnation The history depicts that the need emerged the incarnation of Vykuntha Rama was that to fulfill a long desire of his ardent devotee Bhadra.Maharshi Bhadra Bhadra performed penance at the bank of river Godavari in this " Dandakaranya " to get grace of lord Rama and in countenance of his beloved God - The exulted "Rishi" implored Rama to be seated on his head ,but Rama who was in search of his consort Sita gave promise to his Bhakta that his desire would be fulfilled on his way back , after finding Sita and accomplishing the process of punishing the wicked Ravana and establish 'Dharma' . Thus the sage had been in continuation of the frightened penance as Rama could not accomplish the promise in Ramavatara . Then Sri Mahavishnu manifested himself as Vykuntha Rama and rushed to his devotee Bhadra , signaling hisarrival by blowing 'Shanku',accompanied by his consort Sita and brother Laxmana , resembling that of 'Gajendra Moksham ' - Thus , the moorthies of Rama ( having four hands ) - Shanku on the right , Chakra at his left and Dhanurbhana ( Bow and Arrow in the rest two hands ) , Sita had condescended on the left lap of Rama and brother ( at Rama's left ) are existed . And the hill place where the Deities were seated on , was the head place of Bhadra - achalam ( hill ) ,thus this shrine was transformed into Bhadrachalam .<br />

On one fine night, she had darshan of Rama in her dream who said "the saints and sages are worshiping my embodied moorthy settled on Bhadragiri" and asked her to trace them, perform pooja and attain salvation. On the very next day morning she started searching for the idols-peeped into an ant-hill and found the idols hidden in it. She poured hundreds of pots of Godavari water on the ant-hill which tardily dissolved and gave way for the appearance of the hidden Deities. Since then, she used to perform pooja daily and offer 'naivedyam' with fruits fallen from near palmyra tree and constructed a mandapam of thatch hut with the help of local villagers. Bhagawan Rama told Dhammakka that at a later date, one of his devotees would construct a Mandir at this site. Dhammakka waited patiently for the devotee.

He was nephew of Akkannna, the administrative head in the court of Nawab Abul Hussan shah known as 'Taneshah' of Golkonda (he was the last ruler of Golconda before Aurangazeb captured it in 1687A.D.) and was appointed by him as Tahsildar of 'Palvoncha Paragana'. Thus he was discharging his official duties earnestly and collecting revenues due to the Nawabs in continuation of daily preaches -Chanting of 'Ramanama' and the feeding the poor at his house. Ramadasa, who heard the news that the villagers of palvoncha paragana were proceeding to witness a Jatara at Bhadrachalam , became curios and he too visited Bhadrachalam. He found the deities in an amazing appearance. Ramadas, then asked the villagers to contribute liberally for the construction of the temple. After the contributions were found to be insufficient, the villagers appealed him to spend the revenue collections for the construction of the temple with a promise to repay the amount after harvesting the crops. Accordingly, Ramadas constructed the temple with an amount of Rs 6 Lakhs collected from the land revenues with out the permission of the Nizam Nawab.</td></tr>

When the temple reached to the nearing completion, he had a problem of fixing 'Sudarshana Chakra' at the crest of the main temple. He was deeply distressed and fell into sleep. On the same night, Rama in his dream asked him to have a holy dip in river Godavari where he will find that-accordingly. On the next day morning Gopanna did so and found holy Sudarshana Chakra in the river with out much difficulty. He presumed that Sudarshana Chakra itself was shaped up with the divine power of his beloved God Rama. Soon after the construction, his miseries started. He was dismissed from service for mis-utilisation of revenue for constructing the temple and was kept in jail for 12 long years in Golkonda Fort and was tortured. Unable to withstand the miseries, Ramadas implored Rama to relieve him by singing many praising and emotional songs which got popularized from the stanzas of 'Dasaradhi Sathakam' and 'Keertanas' of Bhakta Ramadasa.<br />

The idol of Shiva under serpent shade was installed in Munivaatam.<br />
<br />
<b>Brief History:</b><br />
The history depicts that on one day Balananda Swamy (during 1926) had reached Perantalapalli village while traveling from Rajahmundry to Bhadrachalam on river Godavari in a motor launch and stayed that night .He was enraptured with the pleasant atmosphere and the sceneries at and around the place where he stayed on moon lit night and he came out of the launch to the sand bed on the bank. Then a lady appeared to him and asked him to follow her and disappeared after reaching a place on the river bank covered with shrubs and stream flows. He spent that night there and astonished after seeing Shiva idol under serpent shade in the early morning and decided to construct a mantapam there. That mantapam is named as Sri Krishna Munivaatam. No priests would perform pooja there. The devotees themselves pray the God and perform pooja after having holy dip in river Godavari. Using of non-vegetarian and hunting of animals are strictly prohibited there. All the devotees must maintain silence while spending time there and also performing pooja in this munivaatam. Balananda Swamy after seeing the backwardness of the tribal sect Konda Koyas (Hill Reddys) decided to reform them and took up a project in the line by bringing them to cultured society. Later in 1969, one David Adam, a youngster and a resident of England became a disciple of swamiji and spent in this munivaatam till recently. Now this munivatam is being maintained by the tribals themselves.<br />
