★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Sankaram village at Bojjanna Konda near Anakapalle is one of the popular Buddhist heritage spot surrounding to Visakhapatnam. Few centuries back this place was the center of Buddhist culture and teachings. The name of the village Sankaram derived from the word Sangharama which meant monastery. There are many monolithic stupas, rock cut caves, and ruins of prayer halls, meditation halls, and brick build structural edifices, resting places available on the twin hills of Bojjanna Konda and Lingala Konda. This place is located by the side of the river Sarada. During the excavation of this place many age old coins, clay tablets of Sitting Buddha were found. There are many Buddha statues carved on the rock-face of the caves.
Sankaram village is located at a distance of 50 Km from Visakahaptnam. On National Highway No 5 it will not take more than one hour to reach this place. There is no entrance fee for entering; there are guides available to show you the caves and its importance if you are a serious visitor. The hill top gives a panoramic view of the green fields and distance hills of the surrounding area. In the nearby hill of Lingalametta there are big and small rock cut monolithic stupas carved on single rocks of different shapes. Some stupas are as high as a two stored building. This part of the state has relics of all the three phases of Budhism - Hinayana, Mahayana and Vijrayana. So in one hill there is status of Buddha and in other there are many Stupas available.
On the Bojjanna Konda hill here are prayer halls where places marked in elevated platforms in semi circular shape for Gurujee and in circular shapes for the followers. The rooms of the followers are still available and each room has grooved place on the wall for lamps. There is a cave with single rock cut four pillars with Buddha Status and another cave with nine pillars. There are wells built by cutting the rocks for storage of water.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Bojjannakonda and Lingalametta Monastries:
These are the twin rock cut Buddhist monasteries at Sankaram village in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh.
They date back to the 3rd century BC.
These sites have seen three forms of Buddhism – Theravada period when Lord Buddha was considered a teacher, the Mahayana, where Buddhism was more devotional, and Vajrayana, where Buddhist tradition was more practised as Tantra and esoteric form.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Must visit place. One of the importent monument place in Visakhapatnam district. Its 40km distance away from Visakhapatnam. First we reach anakapalli to book auto or cab to visit this place. Its just 2km distance from anakapalli. But facilities must improve. Very peaceful and excellent Buddhist temple . nice view

As it is not under CCTV observation dure to which casuses incovienence for the elder or adults due to uncultura activittes by couples and ? which makes visitors inconvenience to have a keen look.
