Serpants Inter winding

The  Serpents' inter winding pictures are mostly seen in Saiva traditions from time immemorial in India.The Greek mythological symbol 'Caduceus' has also similarities with it..but  with only one serpent depiction.Nowadays the latter is used as a medical symbol with slight changes made.The Serpent is considered to be the power of  Kundalini in Indian Mysticism.

Bhadrachalam is a well-known pilgrimage town in India,often called as "Dakshina Ayodhya" by devotees.It is situated on the banks of Godavari river in Andhrapradesh.The presiding deity is Lord Rama.The temple was constructed almost 370 years back by saint Ramadas. It is said to be that Sri Rama,Sita and Lakshmana roamed here during their "vanavasa".There is a small village named Parnasala which is 32 k.m.away from  here believed to be the place where Sita was abducted by Ravana.

Srirama navami or sitarama kalyanam will be celebrated every year in Mar or April.
