POST SCRIPT (and content update)

‘Gv’ has thanked me for covering Vishakapatnam in Andhra Pradesh, in one of my travel blogs. ‘Gv’ lived for a number of years (some during his teens to college years & some during his career in the Indian Navy….) at Vishakapatnam (Vizag for short.)

At Kailasagiri park overlooking the scenic Vizag-beach, there is a Shiva-Parvati sculpture located centrally inside the well maintained Kailasagiri park amidst shady trees. There is also a children playground there. 

For more information, visit my blog@  Kailasagiri-park-and-vizag-beach 

Photo posted below is also from Kailasagiri Park (it is a copy/paste job from HiVizag.com website. )

We visited the park and the Shiva-Parvati sculpture there during a recent trip to Vishakapatnam (AP).

We walked up and down RK-beach road and also stepped on the sands by RK-beach.

High and mighty waves hitting rocks there was a sight too see.

We also visited Indian Navy history & crafts museum located inside an abandoned submarine- INS KURSURA, permanently parked by the RK-beach. We also visited the TU Naval Airplanes (Russian) Air museum. We went uphill by the train (ropeway available too…) to visit the Kailasagiri-park and enjoyed the scenic hill top park there with lots of shade and a playfield for Children.

It takes at least 6-8 hours (morning through mid-afternoon) to relax on the sands at the RK-beach, visit INS KURSURA and TU Naval Airplane museums located on the RK-beach road. Walks along the beach road and visit to attractions there made our day at Vizag. There is tariff (ticket fee not pricey, children will enjoy;) to visit the two museums located on the beach road.

In the evening we made it to ‘Rajahmundri’ by the banks of the mighty river Godavari by night fall to witness the enchanting ‘Aarti’ performed in reverence to the mighty river Godavari.

Professionals perform the ‘Aarti’ at the Pushkar Ghats there every evening (by sunset time.) See Reference for more info.

All these visits were possible in just one day because we had our own tourist-bus to go around all these tourist spots!

REFERENCE:

Pushkar Ghat in Rajahmundri is where ‘Aarti’ to river Godavari happens by sunset time (every week-end, if not every evening,) attracts large number of tourists who can sit on the stone steps created by the river banks there.

One can step into the river here and take dips too (except during 2 to 2-1/2 hours in the evening, when Aarti is being performed to the river.) Hindus revere ‘Pushkar Ghat’ at Rajahmumdri as a holy spot.

A visitor from Kinshasa (from Democratic Republic of Congo,) who witnessed the Godavari Aarti on an Evening has posted the following comment in a facebook page:

Godavari Aarti In The Evening

Review of Pushkar Ghat

Reviewed 16 January 2017 via mobile

I am from this place and spent all my childhood here. After several decades I got a chance to live here again and visit the Aarti to great river Godavari. It is done every evening. Aarti festivity is accompanied by a comentary (in the background) explaining the river’s history and importance of the Aarti; worth visiting this place.
