Vishakhapatnam
Vishakhapatnam
is built along the seashore of the Bay of Bengal, and is bounded
and broken by the bold headland called the Dolphin's Nose. The city
boasts of a beautiful beach with a long beach road ending at nearly
Bheemunipatnam on the northern end. The surrounding area is dominated
on the west by the well-forested Eastern Ghats and numerous rivers,
among them the Godavari and Indravati, drain farther east. The city
is also known as "Vizag" and is surrounded by three hills,
each of which has a shrine dedicated to a different religion - Venkateswara
temple on Venkateswara Konda, Baba Ishaq Madina Dargah on Dargah
Konda and Church of the Virgin Mary on Rose hill.
