Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple - Vadapalli

Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple is located at Vadaplli, Atreyapuram Mandal, East Godavari District. It is one of the old and most famous temples in Andhra Pradesh. Also called Konaseema Tirupati.

Sri Kalyana Venkateswara is the main deity of this temple, who is an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Here the deity is made of Erachandanam wood.

 Goddess Sridevi and Bhudevi are the consorts of Lord Venkateswara.

The roof around the temple is filled with Govinda namalu.

This temple has 5 tier Rajagopuram.

According to the history of this temple once many Saints, Sanaka and Sanandana, etc, visited Lord Sri Maha Vishnu in Vaikuntham. They requested Lord to establish Dharma and save people in Kaliyuga. Then Sri Maha Vishnu promised that he will appear in a Chandana box in Gowthami River. After many years people of Vadapalli found a Chandana box in the Holy Gowthami River. Then the villagers took a scared bath in river Gowthami and brought the box out to the shore. They found a beautiful Chandana statue of Sri Venkateswara Swamy. Saint Narada established the temple after pratista “yagna”. The temple rituals are performed by Vaikanasa Brahmins and Srinivasa Acharyas.

Devotees believe that Venkanna Swamy (Lord Venkateswara) will be pleased and grant wishes if they perform 11 pradakshina's(circumambulation) continuously on 7 Saturdays. Hence a lot of crowds are expected every Saturday.
