Visakhapatnam, Rajamundry, Vijayawada

First, I want to give a list of the Temples that we visited. Then, as I recall, I will post the detailed experiences at each Temple. It may not be in any order.

We left Tirupati by train (Tirumala Express?) at 8:50 p.m. on December 19, 2012. Reached Vizag (Vishakahpatnam) by 11:30 a.m. on Dec 20th. The journey was comfortable, consumed the food we packed from home. Met a family from Vizag who had tons of relatives, friends and acquaintances from Machilipatnam, my husband Rao's native town. This always happens. Our topics were only around that town.

Here is the list of Temples:

Dec 20th ---Simhachalam - Vinayaka Temple at 3 p.m.

Dec 21st--- Left hotel at 6 a.m. and saw:

                   Srikakulam, Nagavalli river, Arasuvalli, Srikoormam, Srimukha Lingam
 
                    Koti Madhava and Srikoormam Temples at Padmanabhapuram

Dec 22nd --- Arakku valley, Borra caves (Not Temples, just sight seeing).

Dec 23rd --- Left at 6 a.m. again. It was Mukkoti Ekadasi celebrated in some Temples.
                     Annavaram  Satyanarayana SwamiTemple at 11:30 a.m.
                    Visited Kanaka Mahalakshmi also. Reached Pitapuram (పిఠాపురం) by 2:30 p.m. the same day.

                     Antarvedi  (Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swami Temple)
                     Vaanapalli (Pallaalamma Talli Temple, near Kakinaada)

Dec 26th --- Dwaraka Tirumala, near Eluru (we used to call it chinna Tirupati in the 60s)
                     Janga Reddy gudem (Maddi Anjaneya Swami Temple)

                    Teeparru (Anjaneya Swami Temple)
                     Paalakollu Temples: Ksheera Ramalingeswara, Maavulamma, Rama, Kubera Swami, Sai Baba, Venkateswara and the Pedda gopuram. Went to Bheemavaram.


Dec 29th --- We passed the following villages and visited some Temples in Krishna district :
                     Kuchipudi , Movva, Srikakulam, Peda Muttevi, Ghantasala, Mopidevi, Hamsala deevi.
                   
                     The above villages are very familiar and very nostalgic for Rao, who grew up in that area and still has relatives living there.

More towns and villages and more Temples in that area. I just do not have the details. One can search the internet, get the details and visit them. Too many for me to go into details.
