Located about 33 Km from Kakinada, 40 Km from Rajahmundry and 60 Km from Amalapuram, it is popular for the beautiful stone temple of Lord Shiva, which was built by Eastern Chalukyas between 9th-10th centuries. A stone sculpture of Ganesha in the same place is said to be a marvel and a masterpiece of Chalukyan craftsmanship. The place reeks of divine sanctity so well described in the Vaastu Sastra.
