About this locality

Vijayawada is the commercial capital of Andhra Pradesh and one of the most important cities in South Bharat, a dynamic, fast-growing metropolis on the banks of the Krishna river where the river emerges from the Eastern Ghats into the fertile delta plains. The city is often called the Business Capital of Andhra Pradesh. Its position at the centre of the state's railway, road and waterway network, flanked by the extraordinarily fertile Krishna-Godavari delta, has made it the natural hub of Andhra's commerce. The Kanaka Durga temple atop the Indrakeeladri hill overlooking the Krishna river is Vijayawada's spiritual heart. The Prakasam Barrage across the Krishna river is a landmark of post-independence engineering that made the delta's irrigation possible.

Historical roots

Vijayawada is an ancient city. The Indrakeeladri hill and the Kanaka Durga temple have been centres of worship since at least the early medieval period. The city's strategic position at the Krishna river's exit from the hills made it a natural crossing point and trading centre through successive historical periods. Vijayawada was a significant centre of the Amaravati Buddhist tradition of the Krishna valley.

Connectivity

Vijayawada Junction is one of the busiest railway stations in Bharat on the Chennai-Howrah main line. NH-16. Vijayawada Airport has domestic flights. It is the central Andhra Pradesh connectivity hub.
