Annavaram is one of the most famous holy shrines enjoying popularity next to Tirupati. The temple is built in Dravidian style. The Lord Satyadeva with Anantha Lakshmi and Lord Shiva on other side took his abode on Ratnagiri. Every Hindu performs ‘Sri Satya Narayana Vratham’ throughout India for wealth, education and success. Especially, the newly married couple comes here and performs poojas for good and healthy relationship. It is also very famous for the god’s “prasadam” which is served in dried leaves till today.|

Situated atop the Ratnagiri Hills, enroute to Visakhapatnam, Annavaram is one of the most revered pilgrim centres in Andhra Pradesh. Annavaram is quite a picturesque destination with the Pampa River flowing languidly next to the hills. The multi-storeyed temple complex has several entrances. The riveting temple structure, painted in white is home to Veera Venkata Satya Narayana Swamy, a form of Lord Vishnu. Satya Narayana is offered prayers on occasions such as weddings, house warmings, etc. The main shrine is two-storeyed and houses a unique yantra (geometrical diagram used in the Tantric tradition to aid in meditation) based on Tripad Vibhuti Narayana Upanishad.|

Opposite the main shrine is the kalyana mandapam. Other shrines in the temple premises are dedicated to Vana Durga and Lord Rama. Initially, the temple was a mere shed built over the idol of Satya Narayana, which was found here in 1891. Over time it was constructed into the structure you see today. The main temple is in the shape of a chariot with four wheels.|
