Located about 40
Km from Rajahmundry, 74 Km from Kakinada and 34 Km from Amalapuram,
it is an enchanting place situated between the rivers Vashista and
Gautami, the tributaries of the mighty river Godavari.
The famous temple Jagan Mohini Kesava Swamy is located here and
its exquisite idol, made of black stone depicting Maha Vishnu and
Mohini can be seen on its front and rear sides. This 5 feet height
and 3 feet width shrine is itself the form of Sri Maha Vishnu, with
the idol of Sree Kesava Swamy varu of "Sri Mahavishnu"
on front side and Jagan Mohini on back side. One can also
|
catch a glimpse of the ten incarnations Lord Sree Maha Vishnu with consorts,
Sri Devi, BhooDevi, Sage Narada, Thumbura, Rambha, Urvasi, Kinnera and
Kimpurusha PLUS Lord Krishna with Govardhanagiri, Adiseshu, Garuda and
Ganga.
A major highlight is the flow of Ganga waters from the feet of Sri Maha
Vishnu that is said to be the origin of Akasa Ganga. The shrine is also

believe that the shrine is not man made but a creation of the Lord himself.
