One of the most exquisitely sculpted shrines of Andhra Pradesh, Simhachalam temple is situated 16 km from Vizag among thickly wooded hills. This temple was built by the Eastern Gangas in 13th Century A.D. The beautifully-carved l6-pillared Natya mantapa and the 96-pillared Kalyana mantapa bear testimony to the architectural brilliance of the temple. The image of the presiding deity, Sri Lakshminarasimha Swamy, is covered in a thick layer of sandalwood paste.
The real shape of the deity can be viewed only
during Chandanayatra Festival (March - April).
