Spiritual Center of Ongole Town
I have travelled to Ongole with my friend to explore Bhairav Kona. We took Hotel near Ongole railway station and then visited Bhairav Kona on first day visit and returned to Hotel. During chit chat with Hotel team came to know that this Chenna Kesava temple is located near to the hotel and which is very famous temple of Ongole. Then next day morning we went there and had Chenna Kesava Swamy Darshan in the morning. We are so blessed that we got Swamy Darshan very surprisingly. This temple is located very near to Ongole Railway Station. Hardly 10 min travel distance and the Location called as Kesava swami peta. The main deity of this temple is Chenna Kesava Perumal who is an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. History of the temple: During the end of 16th Century, Rama Bhadhra Raju and Raghupathy Raju, who were ruling the Vijayanagara Kingdom constructed this temple. These kings were ardent devotees of Lord Vishnu and hence they installed an idol of the lord in their fort itself and named lord as Chenna Kesava Swamy. They use to perform regular poojas and rituals to the lord. Most of the villagers do take the darshan of the lord from outside the fort during the ceremonies and festival celebrations. Due to huge crowd there were security issues during festivals. then keeping this in mind king called Asthana pundit Vangala Seetharam Avadhani and consulted to get the solution. After the discussion of the King with the Pandit's have had come to a conclusion to build the temple on the hill of Ongole and the today's temple was built in present place in the year 1712 for common people worship. The temple premises with a neat circular courtyard houses the small other temples of Sri Bhaktanjaneya, Sri Venkatesa, Sri Rama Vasundhara and Sri Satyanarayana Swamy. Special pujas and abhishekas are performed during Karthika and Dhanurmasa duration. Temple Timings: Morning 06:00 to 12:00 Evening 06:00 to 09:00
