Mopidevi, around 40 minutes of journey from Machilipatnam is a famous temple village with Subramanya Swamy temple in the center of it. Many devotees visit the temple all through the year, especially for Annadaanam and “First Cut” for children. Here is some glimpse of the sacrosanct.

Magnificent Machilipatnam, The Unexplored: Part 2

Jan. 03 Andhra Pradesh, Places 6 comments

Continuing from where we stopped (the division into parts is more for the flexibility to see all the pics), the unexplored machilipatnam gives a glimpse of the history of India itself. The Bandar Fort is the reminiscence of the fortification by the East India Company and by the Dutch (before the EIC) in around 1600 AD. Exploring the full length of the constructions around the Fort itself is a half day program! (I realized this when I had to rush to cover the other places).

Surely, machilipatnam is an unknown Tourist destination. One can be totally filled with history, glory and devotion in a full day package ! Being my hometown, I did not realize the tourism potential of this sleeping town till I saw with my own eyes, spending one full day !

A beautiful Fort (Kekini Mahal), the Historic Bandar Fort and other remaining constructions, Chilakapudi Panduranga Temple, The Gold Covering works, Bandar Kaluva and the port (can be made even as a water sporting destination, the first on the east coast of India ! ), The other temples (Venkateswara and the Hayagreeva temple), Manginipudi Beach.. already a day’s full of places.

Hope the day will come. The eastern Goa : machilipatnam with its glory.

Magnificent Machilipatnam, The Unexplored: Part 1

Jan. 03 Andhra Pradesh, Places 5 comments

Hi All,

This is a travelogue of my own town, machilipatnam , situated on the eastern coast of the Krishna Delta, Andhra Pradesh. Being the place where we were grown up, the pics were taken with more satisfaction than picturesqueness ! The temples that we used to go every week, the school ground we played , all give a easy passage in to the childhood.

And then comes the surprise part. Most of us might not have known the inner beauty of the places in MTM ! Below and the following (Part 2) posts are the opener of the sleeping beauty, mostly covering the places which are never shown as such anywhere (and hence sacrificing the more known and common places like Koneru Center and Manginipudi Beach for space constrains, probably they will be accommodated in some other way ! ). Enjoy the childhood, the town and its glory.

Kekini Mahal , known as the Challapalli Bunglow is on the turn of Ramanaidu Peta, Machilipatnam. As magnificent as any other medieval forts, this tall building is one of the glowing prestiges of the sleeping town.

The British Times “Bandar Town Hall” , still in use for many of the major functions and programs, situated in the heart of the town.

Bandar, is definitely famous for its movie watchers, and thus the theaters, both old and the new. In the age of multiplexes and many screens, the age old singular ‘tallkies’ are worth remembering !
