VIBRANT VIZAG
Last year, my parents & I visited Vizag (Visakhapattanam), the head-quarter to the Eastern Naval Command of the Indian Navy in Andhra Pradesh. This dynamic city is enriched with geographical as well as cultural diversity. The place has an ensemble blend of ancient and modern age, where we get to see the Simhachalam temple built in 11th century and also Submarine Museum in the same city.
On the first day of our trip, as we reached the Ramakrishna Beach, we got to witness the true colour of the city. Especially the women in sarees with a string of belli flowers on their buns looked simple yet wonderful on the beach.
The fresh air, a magnificent sunset and the constant roaring of sea did relax and rejuvenate our mind and body. The next day we went to Rushikonda beach, another unadulterated beauty and then to famous Submarine Museum where we had a lifetime experience of entering into INS Kurusura Submarine which has the glory of serving the nation for twenty one years. Then we went to see the Simhachalam temple which is an exquisite synthesis of Oriya and Dravidian style of architecture and sculptures. On the third day, we visited Araku Valley situated in the midst of Anantagiri hills and fell in love with the amazing atmosphere. We also visited Borra Caves which made us speechless by its magnificent structure.
Altogether it was a very delightful trip and it’s quite evident that one would definitely wish to visit this amazing city again.
