This is the must see in a lifetime place on earth. Every one will have a divine feeling which is unexplainable. This temple is a divine scenic beauty with greenery & lot of green fields in the surrounds. As this is one of the five pancharama ksehtras of Andhra, piligrims goes atleast once especially during kartheeka masam. Lord shiva in linga rupam with about 14 feets height - one could see in two stairs. Can't wait to visit in this kartheeka masam too.

I have visited ainavilli Ganesh temple in October Along with my wife and sister. Climate is amazing I have travelled from KAKINADA by bus to amalapuram Alighted bus enroute at kondalamma temple (immediately after mummidivaram) From there we have travelled in autos. Government buses are very few. Roads are very narrow and very bad. But from KAKINADA to ainavilli surrounding areas are so beautiful One cannot take eyes of beautiful konaseema ( typical rice bed. Small canals And unlimited coconut trees) The view is worth cross. Ganesh temple is superbly maintained. Small temple With small temples of lord Shiva etc. For every donation authorities are giving receipts. Beauty is there is special breast feeding room in this temple. Annadanam is daily One should not miss Prasadam here Amazing taste and excellent service by staff. Must visit temple. Jai bolo GANESH Maharaj ki jai

This is a very nice temple located on the sea beach. The temple is beautiful and the deity is very nice. The temple serves Annadhanam on all the 365 days. There is also a Goshala run by the temple. River Godavari drains itself into Arabian Sea at Antharvedi Sea Beach. It is a huge river draining itself into sea. It is a beautiful view. But you are restricted from going anywhere near the spot because of the force of water there. Do visit the place if you are traveling in Andhra.
