Sri Dasanjaneya Swamy Temple - Machavaram

Sri Dasanjaneya Swamy temple is located at Machavaram which is very near to Vijayawada.

The great Saint Vyasatheerthulu is said to have traveled on foot with his disciples. They once took a break from their journey to relax for a while at Indrakeeladri. Lord Hanuman is said to have taken the form of a Varana and appeared before them. Following him, Vyasatheerthulu and his disciples stood up. They traveled far after Lord Hanuman and arrived in Machavaram. The Saint was instructed by Lord Hanuman to build a temple, a distinctive Shankh, and a Chakra there. Saint Vyasatheerthulu started building the temple as directed by Lord Hanuman.

The idol of Sri Dasa Anjaneya is about two to three feet tall and an ardha shila in nature. Sri Dasa Anjaneya is seen here as a Dasa (student), sitting on His knees in front of Sri Rama. While both hands are seen folded with the palms joined in Anjali offering pranams to His Lord.

Hanuman Jayanti is the most celebrated festival here.
