SRI NOOKAMBIKA (NOOKALAMMA) AMMAVARU TEMPLE
ANAKAPALLI.








HISTORY:
Sri Sri Nookambika Ammavari Temple is in Anakapalle of Vishakapatnam District. This temple is located in Gavarapalem and houses the goddess Nookambika. Appalaraju built this temple to Kakatambika, a family goddess; she would later be called Nookambika, or Nookalamma. On “Kottha Amavasya,” a day before Ugadi, thousands of people throughout Andhra Pradesh come here for worship.

Sri Sri Sri Nookambica Ammavaru is one of the nine Shakti forms and popularly known as Sri Anagha Devi in ancient days. After a few years in the era of Kakatiya kings, the temple was renovated and the same goddess was worshipped with the name Sri Kakatamba. Daily pujas and deeparadhanas are performed here. As the kings lost their dynasties, the daily pujas and other rituals were interrupted and slowly the temple lost its previous glory.

It is believed that the creator of the universe was Sri Shakti Ammavaru and there are a lot of religious rituals and pujas that are performed to Sri Nookambica Ammavaru. Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday are considered auspicious days for performing puja to Sri Nookambika Ammavaru.

Anakapalle is known for the nearby ruins of a Buddhist temple known as Bojjannakonda, or Sankaram.
