Visakhapatnam, the port city was the base. The city is fabulous with good and neat roads.
Day 1
Simhachalam Temple |
On day one visited Simhachalam, the hill temple
where the presiding deity is Lord Varahalakshmi Narsimha. It is also the second most visited temple by pilgrims in Andhra Pradesh. There were different
Queues, (one free, one Rs.20 and the other Rs.100/-), it took one hour 15
minutes to come out in Rs.20 queue but the movement of the queue was fast. The temple is on a hill as the name suggests,
nice queue arrangements, free mahaprasadam mandap, etc. You have to keep your mobile, camera and
electronic equipment outside the queue only. Small hand bags allowed.
