History & significance

A Shakta temple complex in Anakapalli district, Andhra Pradesh, founded by the nuclear physicist N. Prahalada Sastry, whose Sahasrakshi Meru shrine is built as a three-dimensional Sri Meru Yantra. Construction ran from 1985 to consecration in 1994.

Sthala katha — the legend

Its founder described a meditative vision of himself lying on the peetam while four figures performed a homa with flames rising from his body, after which a panchaloha Sri Chakra Maha Meru was found at the site.
