Trip to Kameswaramma Temple

There may be many others, but, to our knowledge, this is the only known near-by temple of Godess Kameswari. It is located in Chowdanthivalasa (చౌదంతి వలస), a remote village near to Ramabhadrapuram/Bobbili, Vijayanagaram District, AndraPradesh.

We have been planning for this trip to take my son to this temple, almost since an year.  At last, we could make it on 2nd Jan 2010 :) Started at around 8:30 AM in the morning from home and drove to the village (about 100km) by 10:30 AM.  Parked the car at pujari's house and walked about one km in the farm-fields to reach the temple.  We had a great Darshan and pooja.

When we were there last time, lord Shiva temple was under construction besides this Kamewaramma temple.  This time, it is open and a big pooja (Sahasra bilwarchana సహస్ర బిల్వార్చన) was happening in the temple.  We sat for a while there and then, returned to Vizag.
