Sri Kamakshi Vaidyanatha Swamy Temple - Kotluru

One of the most ancient temples in this land, not given its due. Its one of those temples shiva and vishnu's idols are beside each other in different sanctum. There is no board or direction or any other indication leading to the temple. The road is a single lane narrow road.

Vidya natha , kamakshi mata temple. You can see dhanvanathri (personal doctor to gods who is an avatar of vishnu) and you can see sri chakram established adi shankara charyalu. Must visit place from far far distance too.

A very beautiful temple in such a remote location. Many don't know that there are temples behind the main shrine. The Temples which are present behind have great architecture and statues. There a temple of Lord Shiva where he is worshipped in his Human form along with Goddess Parvati. A very serene and peaceful temple situated in Pushpagiri. Wish that it gets more popularity and develops into a lively place.

I'm soo happy to be here during my exploration.

Awesome place to feel the divine. There is no pooja as such it looks like , when we visited. Only for kamakshi amma they did pooja that too at last. It was more like an ancient monument. We felt like an museum at certain point. They have assembled all the sculpture in a row like a museum. Moreover if you are going to this temple other than the festival time then, most probably you are gonna be alone there.. with a temple guide. Happy worshipping.

A VERY NICE, OLD HINDU TEMPLE ON THE BANKS OF RIVER ‘PENNA‘ IN THE MIDST OF EXCELLENT NATURE IN KADAPA DISTRICT OF ANDHRA PRADESH

PUSHPAGIRI Pushpagiri is on the banks of Pennar (Pinakini) 16 Kms from Cuddapah City. It is well known for its numerous temples. Vaishnavas call it as Madhya Ahobhilam and Saivas as Madhya Kailasam. The Amrita Sarovar would be a thrilling experience, according to local legend, about its sanctity – when Garuda was carrying nectar from Indra Loka, one drop of it fell at this place and turned the pool into a sacred one. One day an old farmer vexed with his wretched life jumped into the pool to commit suicide. The fall transformed him into a young man. He was so astonished by this and made his wife and oxen to take dip in the pool. They were also turned into young. The news of the sacred pool spread all over the place and all people started thronging at this place to become young. The news reached Satya Loka, Brahma invoked the help of Lord Vishnu & Lord Siva. They instructed Anjaneya to close the pool. Anjaneya dropped a hill in the pool, but instead of sinking the hill started floating like a flower. Lord Vishnu & Lord Siva decided to clamp their feet at the ends. The imprint of the foot of Siva became famous as Rudrapada and that of Vishnu’s as Vishnupada. Pushpagiri is now called as a second Hampi, is one of the important Advaitha Mutts established by Sankaracharya and is the only place in Andhra Pradesh where the holy Peetham of Sankaracharya is located. The largest and best known among temples, is the Chennakesava Temple, which according to the earliest inscriptions found  in the temple complex, dates back to 1298 A.D. The dancing Ganapati and Krishna preaching the Bhagavad Geetha to Arjuna are remarkable pieces of Art. The annual temple festival is conducted for 10 days in March-April. Other temples of interest here include Trikuteswara, Durga, Shiva, Rudrapada and Devi, which are remarkable for their architectural precision and excellent images.

It is wonderful ancient temple.Architecture superb.Situated on the banks of river penna.Must visit temple once in lifetime.
