While constructing the Satyanarayana Swamy Temple in Annavaram, they followed the Dravidian style. At first, when the idol was discovered, a small shed was constructed there in 1891. After that, it was modified into a temple built with the help of villagers and devotees of the nearby villages. Later, it was reconstructed from 1933-34 and 2011-2012.<\/span><\/p>\n

This temple idol is 13 feet in height in a cylindrical shape, the base represents Lord Brahma, and the top within the upper sanctum represents Lord Vishnu. The middle portion of the idol represents Lord Siva. It is the location wherein Brahma, who is usually denied in temple worship, is combined with the alternative two. The idol of the lord forms a single idol representing the Trimurthis \u2013 Brahma, Vishnu, and Siva. The view is a precise attraction.<\/span><\/p>\n

History<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the legend Raja, also called Ramarayanam, who was Zamindar then, saw the lord in his dream. He told him that his idol was left on the hill without worship. On Sravanasuddhavidiya in 1891, he discovered it there and worshipped it and established it in the region where Annavaram temple is now located.<\/span><\/p>\n

The temple was constructed on a hill with sights of the Bay of Bengal, about 11 miles away. Primary hillock rises about 300 ft above sea degree, with 460 properly-laid stone steps to the summit.<\/span><\/p>\n

The temple was built as a chariot, with four wheels situated at every corner. The entrance of the temple features a present-day structure consisting of a Kalyanamantapa. A Ramalaya is located down the street, after which there are temples to Vana Durga, who is worshipped at that place.
