On a hill known as Devakuta Parvatha in the middle of the Godavari River. In mythology, Veerabhadra was born out of the lock of Shiva's hair during his tandava performance on sighting his wife getting burnt in the fire of the yagna being conducted by Daksha, his father-in-law. You have to cross the river on board a crude motorboat to reach the temple.
Veerabhadra Temple is located on Devakuta Parvatham, a hillock on an islet amidst the Godavari River near Pattiseema in Eluru district, Andhra Pradesh. The temple is dedicated to Shiva and the namesake is Veerabhadra.
