Vijayawada is a City with a hoary past. According to historians
and archaeologists, there must have existed a very great city long
ago on the very site of the present city of Vijayawada and its
surroundings. Huan Tsang, the well-known Chinese traveler visited
this place in 639 A.D. and wrote about an Andhra King having bored
a hole in the hill to enable the river to pass through. According to
Digavalli V.Siva Rao, an Advocate of this place endowed with rare
spirit of enquiry and research into the past, the discovery of coins of
Satavahana kings in and around Vijayawada and a Roman Coin
having been actually picked up there by Mr. Rea in 1888, clearly
show that trade and commerce flourished in and around Vijayawada
even before the Christian era.
Subsequently it grew in importance as a Buddhist Centre.
Numerous Buddhist remains and the caves of the Vishnu Kundin
period (305 \u2013 610) show that Vijayawada was a Cultural and
religious centre of those times. \u201cEmperor Krishnadevaraya of
Vijayanagaram Visited this place more than once and the inscription
near the Kanaka Durga Temple Shows that he had also made
endowments. Akkanna and Madanna of Golconda are believed to
have built a hall here in honor of the Goddess. The French traveler
Tavernier passed through the city in the 17th century and
elaborately described the shrine and the structure.\u201d
The city, which was known as Bezawada till we attained
independence, has some interesting legends around the name.
According to one legend, when the river Krishna reached Indrikiladri,
the abode of Kanaka Durga, the river prayed to the Goddess to give
it just as much space as that of the \u2018Eye of a needle\u2019 (Bezzam) so
that it could continue its flow towards the sea. The Goddess, being
Pleased, made a Portion of the hillock move away to allow the river\u2019s
Passage and so the Place came to be Known as \u2018Bezzam Wada\u2019
which later changed into \u2018Bezawada\u2019 According to another legend,
Arjuna (Vijaya) came to \u2018Indrikiladri\u2019 to do penance during the
Pandavas\u2019 exile, to acquire Pasupatestra from Lord Shiva and
succeeded in his efforts, Thus it came to be known as \u2018Vijayawatika\u2019
or \u2018Vijayawada\u2019.
It is the perennial river \u2018Krishnaveni\u2019 and the Presiding deity
\u2018Kanaka Durga which made this area a hallowed place of great
religious importance. It has become an important pilgrim centre
