点评:This is one of the famous temple in Andhra Pradesh and located on a hill besides the Prakasam Barrage and Krishna river in Vijayawada. The temple is easily accessible from the Railway Station and Bus Complex.
Once you reach the hillock, you will find temple buses ferrying people from the base to the top of the hill. These days, private vehicles are not allowed on to the hilltop. There is a parking bay at the base. The entry fee is Rs.50/- There is a large parking bay but no one to guide you. As a result of haphazard parking, several cars are parked on the path leading to the parking area. The road too is not properly laid and stones hinder your progress.
You will find a gate on the right which is handled by a security person. They will ask you to go to the left to a ticket queue line. From here you can either climb the steps to the hill top abode or buy tickets of Rs.100, 300 or 500 for quick darshan. Actually all the three queues take similar time to reach the temple entrance, the difference being how proximate you can be with the Goddess. With the 500 ticket, you can go quite close into the inner chamber. The general devotees and Rs.100 ticket holders merge and view the goddess from a distance of 30 feet with the 300 ticket about 15 feet away.
The ticket holders get the right to use one of the 6 massive lifts which ferry people upto the 7th level. Once you reach the top, you will have to walk out of the lift to the opposite side where you will find the queue line entrance. Newcomers will find it a little confusing. You need to check your line as per the ticket purchased.
After the darshan, you can visit some more temples. Poojaris ask you to mention the Gotra nama and collect some fee after a small pooja. Coconuts are not allowed to be broken by you. You need to pay a couple of guys who will break the coconuts and still keep both the halves. I suggest not to take any coconuts.
There are plenty of outlets for drinking water and am sure there are washrooms also but failed to locate any. The route down is again by lift. Once you come out of the lift you will find the prasadam counters. I visited the temple around 8 am and found that only laddoo was available.
Phones are not allowed and it is better to leave your footwear and phones in the car (if you travel by car). It is better to avoid the rush on Fridays and Sundays. The rush gets low after the noon break. The hilltop commands a beautiful view of the Krishna River but no longer accessible with the queue complex.
翻译:这是安得拉邦著名的寺庙之一,位于维杰亚瓦达普拉卡萨姆坝和克里希纳河旁边的一座小山上。从火车站和巴士总站可轻松抵达寺庙。
到达山丘后,您会发现寺庙巴士将人们从山脚运送到山顶。如今,私人车辆不允许进入山顶。基地设有停车位。入场费为Rs.50/- 有一个很大的停车位,但没有人引导。由于随意停车,通往停车场的道路上停满了几辆车。路也没有铺好,石头阻碍了你的前进。
您会在右侧找到一个由保安人员操作的大门。他们会要求您走到左边去排队买票。从这里您可以爬上台阶到达山顶住所,也可以购买 100、300 或 500 卢比的快速达山门票。实际上,三个队列到达寺庙入口的时间都差不多,区别在于你与女神的距离有多近。 500元的门票,可以很近距离的进入内室。一般信徒和 100 卢比门票持有者合并在一起,从 30 英尺的距离观看女神,而 300 卢比门票则在约 15 英尺外观看。
持票者有权使用 6 部大型电梯中的一部,将人们运送到 7 层。到达顶部后,您必须走出电梯到对面,在那里您会找到排队入口。新人会觉得有点混乱。您需要根据购买的机票检查您的线路。
达显之后,您可以参观更多的寺庙。 Poojaris 会要求您提及 Gotra nama,并在小型 pooja 后收取一些费用。椰子不许被你打破。你需要付钱给几个人,他们会打破椰子并保留两半。我建议不要吃任何椰子。
有很多饮用水出口,我确信也有洗手间,但没有找到。下山的路线还是乘电梯。出了电梯后,您就会看到 prasadam 柜台。我早上8点左右参观了寺庙,发现只有laddoo可用。
不允许使用手机,最好将鞋子和手机留在车内(如果您驾车旅行)。最好避开周五和周日的高峰。中午休息后,高峰期就会减少。山顶可以欣赏到克里希纳河的美丽景色,但不再可以通过队列综合体到达。
