Yo Vizag Magazine February 2010

Away from the hustle and bustle of the main city, tucked away off the main road, behind the Steel Plant lies an ancient temple, right on the shore line.

At a distance of about thirty seven kilometres from the main city, this charming coastal village boasts of one of the three most ancient Shiva temples in the country. In addition, there is a quaint pristine beach with golden sands just a few steps away from the temple.

This is the Someswara Swamy Temple in Appikonda. To get to Appikonda, travel along the NH 5 road towards Chennai and enter the Steel Plant road.

Just before the Steel Plant Main gate, branching off the main road is the Appikonda road. The Appikonda road travels almost parallel to the Steel Plant boundary walls for quite a distance and leads directly to the temple.
