Simhachalam:
It is 16km away from Visakhapatnam town. It is a
sacred place situated on hill (Simhachalam) belonging to 11AD. It is a famous
one at the height of 244m from the sea level. Here the idol of Varahalakshmi Narasimha swamy is enveloped by Sandal paste
(chandanam) always. It is removed in the month of Vysakhi
and this is called Chandanotsavam. Here is a Pole called
Kappastambham
(frog’s pole) and it is believed to be satiate of wants and attain health, when
one huggs it. The victorious poles installed by Srikrishndevaraya and stone
inscriptions can be seen. There are a number of small to big waterfalls here.
In total, the whole hill gives the impression of a lion in sitting manner.
