Raja Rajeshwari Devi Temple

The temple has a height of 30 feet. The temple tower made in the shape of a Sumeru Sri Chakra is the first of its kind in India.  This blessed project went to master sculptor Ramachary and sons of Allagadda village in Kadapa district in Andhra Pradesh. Delicately carved with many special features relating to Devi worship, this temple is one of the most important land marks in the spiritual landscape of Indian heritage. The President award winning sculptor of this magnificent temple, Sri Ramachary says that in recent times, there are no temples made fully with stone. This includes the stone temple tower atop.

They are familiar to Datta Peetham with their masterly Sapta Swara stone pillar temple in Nada Mantapa. The entire sanctum Sanctorum and the ante chamber are sculpted with granite. There are two chambers in this temple. The front ante chamber called Antaraalaya and the inner Sanctum Sanctorum called Garbhaalaya. When Sri Swamiji envisaged the divine plan of building a Devi temple in Vijayawada, it was quite evident that it would not be a ordinary brick and mortar temple. Sri Swamiji indicated that the temple should sculpted fully from granite stone. They worked for four years to build this master piece.
