Barely visible among the mighty Nallamala Hills, the Bhairavakona Temple of Andhra Pradesh is a mystical place steeped in natural beauty and its fair share of history. The ancient temple stands dedicated to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati and is cut directly into rocky cliffs, exemplifying beautifully the rock-cut architecture of the Pallava and Chola periods.
This temple complex is surrounded by forests and a waterfall, contributing to the tranquil surroundings of its spiritual charm. One of the key natural wonders associated with Bhairavakona is that on the full moon day of Kartika Pournami, moonlight falls on the idol, and devotees see this as auspicious.
Apart from its religious overtones, the temple finds its place as a retreat for nature lovers and history buffs. Set against the backdrop of absolute serenity, it is equally a place for those seeking peaceful devotion and intimacy with nature and heritage.Â
