This is a very nice temple located on the sea beach. The temple is beautiful and the deity is very nice. The temple serves Annadhanam on all the 365 days. There is also a Goshala run by the temple. River Godavari drains itself into Arabian Sea at Antharvedi Sea Beach. It is a huge river draining itself into sea. It is a beautiful view. But you are restricted from going anywhere near the spot because of the force of water there. Do visit the place if you are traveling in Andhra.

The architecture was simply fascinating and gigantic. There were as many as two hundred rooms with walkways connecting them in a puzzling manner. The red-sandstone walls were cold as there was no way for heat to enter.

The complex has three main temples - The Ayyappa temple, Shiva temple and Venkateshwara temple. This is of recent origin and is an architectural marvel. The venkateshwara temple houses all Hindu gods along with the Dashavataras of Lord Vishnu. The temple is four storeys high and visitors areas are clearly demarcated. The temple is open from 6Am to 12 Noon and 4PM-8PM. Mobile phones need to be deposited at the earmarked counter. Photos can however be taken of the external complex. The ayyappa temple has the holy 18 steps and rituals are performed for devotees who plan to visit sannidhanam, Sabarimala. Please do pay a visit whilst at Rajahmundry (35 Kms) or Kakinada (45 kms).
