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.

The temple draws devotees from all corners of India.During Srirama navami (mar-apr) and vaikunta ekadasi (dec-jan) there is a huge influx of pilgrims,not only from the state but also from other parts of India.There are lots of choultries,cottages and private lodges to shelter in.

A Hill top shrine

In the first picture a bending tree is seen in the way of   Harinadha Baba temple situated at Bhadrachalam.Adjacent to Renowned Ramalayam.It draws very few people though it was built almost sixty years back.Harinadha baba was a saint,lived in flesh and blood once upon a time in Andha pradesh.Second picture partly depicts a shrine which was constructed as his memorial one.The Idols of Baba's couple are in the shrine.Surrounding atmosphere is very beautiful , calm and picturesque.No one will ask or disturb you whatever the time you would like to spend there.

steps are getting weaker as years passing by.
Small mandapam in the premises.

ABC Wednesday


Have shot it deliberately without zoom. It could have been more better in clarity especially the river Godavari
and its surroundings.
