Exploring the Rich Indian Heritage Sites of Visakhapatnam

Visakhapatnam, a beautiful coastal city in India, is not just known for its stunning beaches and vibrant culture, but also for its rich history and heritage. The city is home to a variety of heritage sites that provide a glimpse into India's past and its cultural diversity. Join us as we take a journey through some of the captivating Indian heritage sites in Visakhapatnam.

Simhachalam Temple: A Spiritual Gem

Nestled atop the Simhachalam Hill, the Simhachalam Temple is a renowned religious site dedicated to Lord Narasimha, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. The temple's intricate architecture, with its exquisite carvings and sculptures, showcases the skill and devotion of ancient craftsmen. Pilgrims from all over India visit this temple to seek blessings and immerse themselves in the spiritual ambiance that surrounds the site.

Bavikonda Buddhist Complex: Traces of Ancient Buddhism

Bavikonda, meaning "Hill of Wells," is an ancient Buddhist complex that dates back to the 3rd century BC. This site offers a unique glimpse into the history of Buddhism in India. The complex consists of numerous stupas, viharas (monasteries), and wells that were used by monks for various purposes. Walking through the ruins, visitors can connect with the teachings and lifestyle of ancient Buddhist monks.

Thotlakonda Buddhist Complex: Echoes of Serenity

Similar to Bavikonda, the Thotlakonda Buddhist Complex is another ancient site that sheds light on the Buddhist heritage of the region. Located on a hill overlooking the sea, this complex was once a bustling center of Buddhist learning and meditation. The remnants of stupas, chaityas (prayer halls), and rock-cut cisterns offer a serene atmosphere that transports visitors back in time.

Dutch Cemetery: Tracing Colonial Connections

Visakhapatnam's heritage isn't limited to Indian culture alone; it also encompasses its colonial past. The Dutch Cemetery, dating back to the 17th century, is a testament to the city's colonial history. This burial ground holds the remains of Dutch traders and officials who played a role in shaping the region's history. The tombstones and inscriptions provide insights into the lives and stories of those who once lived here.

Kondakarla Ava: A Natural Heritage

While Visakhapatnam is home to several man-made heritage sites, its natural wonders are equally significant. Kondakarla Ava, a freshwater lake surrounded by lush greenery, is a serene spot that reflects the region's natural heritage. The lake is home to a variety of aquatic life and migratory birds, making it a favorite destination for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers.

Andhra University: Nurturing Education and Heritage

Andhra University, one of the oldest educational institutions in India, is not only a center of learning but also a heritage site in its own right. The sprawling campus boasts impressive architecture, including the iconic Ross Hill Observatory. The university's history, dating back to the early 20th century, is intertwined with the history of education and progress in the region.

Visakha Museum: Preserving the Past

The museum showcases a diverse range of artifacts, including historical documents, traditional art, and sculptures. Through these exhibits, visitors can gain a deeper understanding of the city's evolution over the centuries.

Victory at Sea War Memorial: Honoring Heroes

The Victory at Sea War Memorial stands as a tribute to the Indian Navy's contributions during the 1971 war. The memorial not only honors the sacrifices of naval personnel but also educates visitors about India's maritime history and the role of the Navy. The site is a reminder of the bravery and dedication of those who serve their nation.

Ross Hill Church: A Spiritual Haven

Perched atop Ross Hill, the century-old Ross Hill Church is a symbol of religious harmony and cultural heritage. The church is dedicated to the Virgin Mary and attracts devotees from different faiths. The panoramic views of the city and the sea from the hill add to the tranquility of the site.

Mudasarlova Water Park: Blending Fun and Nature

While not a traditional heritage site, Mudasarlova Water Park offers a blend of fun and natural beauty. The park features a lake, gardens, and a variety of recreational activities. It's a testament to the city's efforts to create spaces that cater to modern leisure while preserving its natural heritage.

Visakhapatnam's heritage sites tell stories of spirituality, education, colonization, and nature's splendor. Each site contributes to the tapestry of the city's history, offering a multi-dimensional experience for visitors.

Today is Visakha Bucha Day

Buddha was born in India some 2,500 years ago as a rich prince, but he left that life of luxury to seek out wisdom from the wise hermits who lived in woodlands scattered throughout the region at the time.

He felt disappointed, however, and instead meditated under a Bodhi tree. There, he is believed to have attained enlightenment at the age of 35 and to have formulated the basic tenets of Buddhism. Later, at age 80, he died. Buddhists believe he then entered the state of “nirvana” and escaped all suffering, death, and reincarnation. In Thailand, Visakha Bucha Day is a time when the devout visit local temples to “make merit,” by giving donations and engaging in various rituals. While there, they also listen to sermons on Buddha’s teachings, meditate, recommit themselves to follow the precepts of Buddhism, and offer food to temple workers. Some also set birds or fish free as a means of eliminating “negative karma”. Thai law prohibits the sale of alcoholic beverages on Visakha Bucha Day, which causes many bars to close temporarily. Many of celebrations are private and religious, but tourists are allowed to visit most of the many temples of Thailand. https://bangkokjack.com/2020/02/12/thailand-public-holidays-2020/ Three of the most important Bangkok temples to see on Visakha Bucha Day are: Wat Pho, which is the oldest Buddhist temple in Bangkok. It dates from the 7th Century A.D., but it was rebuilt and expanded in 1801 by King Rama I. The ashes of King Rama I are enshrined inside the temple, along with the famed Reclining Buddha, which is meant to symbolise Buddha’s entrance into nirvana at his death. The architecture is extremely ornate, colourful, and complex. Wat Phrathart Doi Suthep. Here, a large Visakha Bucha Day pilgrimage and procession takes place every year. Led by candlelight, devotees circle the temple’s “Bhote” chapel. They move clockwise, carrying incense sticks and lotus buds. The temple overlooks the city, giving a panoramic view, and it contains relics of Buddha that have been housed there for four centuries. Wat Phra Kaew, which is considered to be the most sacred of all the numerous Buddhist temples in Thailand. Here is housed the “Emerald Buddha,” which is only about two feet tall and is made out of jade instead of emerald. “Emerald,” in the Thai language, simply refers to a dark green colour and not to a particular gem stone. The statue is in a meditating pose but is standing up straight. The Emerald Buddha is considered to be a symbol of Thailand besides being a religious symbol. You will find the Wat Phra Kaew temple in Bangkok’s historic centre, not far from the famous Grand Palace, which is now a popular museum. - PublicHolidaysGlobal – Stay up to date with BangkokJack on Twitter, Instagram, & Reddit.

Visakhapatnam is a port city and industrial center in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, on the Bay of Bengal.

North Korea’s friends in southeast Asia are ready to return to business as usual

By Anna Fifield, Washington Post, June 4, 2018

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia--Maximum pressure is technically still in effect against North Korea, despite the current frenzy of diplomacy.

But it was more like “maximum leisure” at the Pyongyang Restaurant in Phnom Penh on a recent night. The place was packed with more than 100 Chinese tourists washing down $38 plates of fish with $70 bottles of North Korean liquor. They rushed to present bouquets of flowers to, and take selfies with, the North Korean singers belting out Chinese ballads.

The North Korean state-run restaurant, which should have been shut down under sanctions, was reeling in the cash. American cash. When a guest asked to pay in Cambodian currency, the waitress said the restaurant accepted only U.S. dollars.

Across town, five North Korean soccer players were playing for Visakha, a club in Cambodia’s top soccer division , despite sanctions banning North Korean labor exports. They probably earn between $2,000 and $5,000 a month for the regime, according to one foreign player.

But on the field, no one cared where they were from. “In soccer, we just play,” said Hok Sochivoan, the Visakha coach. “We don’t talk about politics or our differences.”

Meanwhile, up at Siem Reap, close to the ancient ruins of Angkor Wat, the Angkor Panorama Museum was open for business. It was built by the Mansudae Overseas Project Group, linked to the North Korean state’s main propaganda studio, for a reported $24 million in 2015.

The nonaligned countries of southeast Asia, from Malaysia and Indonesia to Cambodia and Vietnam, have never been fans of a sanctions-based approach like the “maximum pressure” campaign that President Trump has been waging against North Korea.

That approach could change if the summit between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, scheduled to be held in Singapore on June 12, takes place. If a denuclearization deal is done, sanctions could be eased and money could start flowing to North Korea again.

But regardless of how that meeting turns out, relations between the countries of this region and North Korea will only improve.

“The Trump administration thinks that maximum pressure is still going on and will go on until the North Koreans actually give up something,” said Ralph Cossa, president of the Pacific Forum, a Honolulu-based think-tank, and a regular interlocutor with North Korea.

“But the minute Trump said yes to the meeting, and even before that, when Kim and Moon were hugging each other, maximum pressure lost steam,” he said, referring to the inter-Korean summit between Kim and South Korean President Moon Jae-in on April 27.

Singapore has been one of the region’s countries most inclined to implement multilateral sanctions. It has become much more stringent about shipping inspections; nevertheless, two Singaporean companies were this year revealed to have been shipping luxury goods, including liquor and watches, to North Korea.

Even Malaysia has moved on from last year’s diplomatic fracas, when Kim’s half-brother was murdered with a nerve agent in Kuala Lumpur’s airport, an attack widely blamed on the leader’s orders.

“It looks like Malaysia has gotten past the assassination,” said Carl Baker, also of Pacific Forum, who has been in contact with Malaysian officials about having North Koreans attend regional security meetings. “They are clearly back in business again.”

That was in motion even before the return to office of Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad who, during a previous stint, used to like to say that sanctions were not the Malaysian way of doing things.

“A lot of leaders in the region think like that,” said Hoo Chiew-Ping, a North Korea expert at the National University of Malaysia.

“Southeast Asian leaders still see some value in maintaining their relationship with North Korea, even though the political relationship can sometimes be difficult,” she said. “They still want to retain their neutrality and their flexibility in terms of foreign policy.”
