About Bhadrachalam Temple

Bhadrachalam temple is one of the most important Sri Rama temples in South India. It stands on the banks of the Godavari in Bhadrachalam town, Telangana, and draws pilgrims throughout the year. The temple is especially busy during Sri Rama Navami, when thousands gather for the celestial wedding ceremony. The architecture is grand South Indian style, with tall gopurams visible from the riverbank. For Papikondalu visitors, Bhadrachalam is the upstream starting point of the two day boat tour. Most groups visit the temple in the morning before boarding the boat.
