Sri Prasanna Chennakesava Swamy Temple
Sri Prasanna Chennakesava Swamy Temple is a revered Hindu temple located in Ongole, Prakasam district, Andhra Pradesh. It is one of the most ancient temples in the region, with its origins tracing back to the Vijayanagara period.
The temple was established by Rama Bhadra Raju and Raghupathy Raju, rulers of the Vijayanagara Kingdom, who were ardent devotees of Lord Venkateswara. Initially, they installed an idol of the deity within their fort, naming it Chennakesava Swamy.
However, due to security concerns, they decided to construct a dedicated temple on the hill of Ongole, which was named Kesavadhri. The temple follows the Vaikhanasa Agama tradition, and its inaugural ceremonies were conducted by priests invited from Sri Rangam in 1712.
The temple complex houses idols of Goddess Rajyalakshmi, Aandaal, Lord Sathyanarayana, Lord Prasanna Anjaneya, Santhana Venugopala Swamy, Sapthamathrukas, and Naaga Devathas.
Devotees visit the temple to seek blessings, particularly during major festivals such as Ugadi, Sri Vari Brahmotsavam, Hanuman Jayanti, Vaikunta Ekadashi, Sri Guru Purnima Mahotsavam, and Krishna Janmashtami.
