Andhra Pradesh's Visakhapatnam or Vizag, as it is often called, rid itself of the overtly English name Waltair and adopted Vizagapatnam shortly after Independence and later became Visakhapatnam in 1987. The third largest city on the east coast (after Chennai and Kolkata), Vizag's folklore suggests that the name comes from a Lord Visakeswara temple established by an Andhra Dynasty king. Also Vizagapatanam is shortened as Vizag, thus the two names Visakhapatnam and Vizag came into use.

Visakhapatnam also known as “Vizag” is the administrative headquarters of Visakhapatnam district in Andhra Pradesh. Vizag also known as the “City of Destiny” or termed by many as the “Goa of East Coast” in India is one of the oldest and richest in terms of its being, culture and heritage. Renowned for its tourist spots, industrial growth, Sea trade, Vizag is considered to be the  commercial capital of coastal Andhra Pradesh. This “Jewel of East Coast” is the headquarters of  Eastern Naval Command.
