Markandeya Temple

Ancient Shiva temple on the Godavari banks, among Rajahmundry's strongest pilgrim stops.

Markandeya Temple sits on the Godavari in Rajahmundry and remains one of the city's most visited Shiva shrines, tied to the sage Markandeya legend. Pilgrims and travelers combine darshan with a ghat walk, especially around Pushkaram and festival periods. The temple's river setting makes it more atmospheric than inland city shrines. Dress modestly, follow queue guidance during festivals, and pair the visit with Pushkar Ghat nearby.
