'This temple, dedicated to Goddess Durga is perhaps the most prominent landmark in Vijayawada. It is all the more significant as the deity here is believed to be ‘swayambhu’ or self-manifested. The temple is believed to have been built by Arjuna after he received the Puspatha Astra (weapon). Devotees from all around India come here to offer their prayers to the Goddess Durga. Apart from its religious significance, the temple is also known for its scenic appeal. Situated on the Indrakiladri Hill with the River Krishna flowing by, the atmosphere around the temple is serene and picturesque. Visit the temple to seek blessings from the deity and enjoy the natural location. '
