| Bhadrachalam is a famous temple dedicated to
"Lord Sree Sita Ramachandra Swamy Temple"
situated on the banks of the sacred river Godavari.
One can reach Bhadrachalam, from Burgampad, from the northern side of the river Godavari. From Burgampad, boats ply over the river Godavari. From Burgampad, boats ply over the river to Bhadrachalam. One can also reach it from Rajahmundry, which is an important railway station on the 40 miles or so by steamer over the river Godavari. The temple cannot thus be reached by easy means of communication, and has to be reached only by a difficult boat journey over the river Godavari and also all kinds of transportation is available to the temple. |

Original Sri Ram Tanka Coins
|
| On
hearing His bhakta's anguish, Sri Rama and
Sri Lakshmana went to the Sultan's palace,
woke up the Sultan, and paid the money due
to the royal treasury on Goppanna's behalf.
The Sultan was perplexed to see the two effulgent
youth, and in Their presence, the Sultan
signed Gopanna's release papers. Unaware
about the repayment of the money, Goppanna
awoke to find the signed release papers at
his bedside. The mohars (the form of currency
present at the time) repaid by the Lord were
brought in front of the Sultan in the morning.
The gold mohars had the Pattabhishekam scene
on one side and the picture of another Rama
Bhaktha, Anjaneya on the other side. The
golden coins paid by Sri Rama are known as
Ram Tanka coins. They can be seen even today
at Sri Sita Ramachandra Swamy Vaari Devasthanam
at Bhadrachalam. |
