Sri Kurmanatha swamy Temple

Aesthetic...The place really vintage and giving all the temple vibes but the day I visited it was like super super rush and people weren't even following covid protocols there were only 2 lines 20 rupees one and a free line both of them were immensely rush it's you can't set your foot into it. I have to visit this place once again during a non season time

Temple atmosphere is very nice. The temple construction looks very beautiful as it very old(constructed 700 years ago). Unfortunately i visited in the rainy season, So I felt there should be some maintenance is required to the surroundings of the temple.

Kurmanathaswamy temple, also known as the Kurmanatha temple or Srikurmam temple, is a Hindu temple dedicated to Kurma – the second avatar of Vishnu. It is located in Srikurmam village, Srikakulam district in Andhra Pradesh, India. Built in the 11th-century in the Eastern Chalukyan style, this Dravida architecture temple was expanded in later centuries, and it is dedicated to Vishnu as Kurmanathaswamy and his consort Lakshmi as Kurmanayaki.

It is such a unique temple that you would get to see… the only temple in the world with the god in kurmavatharam and there are hundreds of tortoises present near the temple and a nice and beautiful lake to give you cool breeze . Don’t forget to read the history placed near the entrance.

I visited the temple for its popularity and was amazed to see its architecture. The structure reminded me of Belur,Halebidu, Hampi style of architecture. Intricate and precise. The temple will let you enter the sanctum-sanctorum directly.
I bought a stone tortoise outside as a souvenir.

An ancient temple, constructed over 1000 years ago-with the main deity as a tortoise which is one of the 10 avatars of Lord Vishnu.It has a pleasant, less crowded and positive-vibed ambience. The temple is located near the banks of a lake with many tortoises. The carvings on the temple walls and pillars has a lot to tell us about the stories of lord Vishnu. This place is a symbol of ancient Telugu culture and tradition. Hope my review inspires you to visit this place.
Thank you,
Have a great day!

One of the finest and ancient temple in India. The History says the temple exists 1 million years ago and was ruined ,constructed again and again. There is underground connection from here to Kasi. Must visit temple and need to have in your bucket list

Fantastic old temple. Peaceful Darshan. Great architecture. Good paintings. Lovely tank and surrounding. Parking is a tough thing close to temple. Park away and walk.
