Devipuram, near Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh · 17.7654°, 83.0830°
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.
What follows is the temple’s own traditional account, transmitted through liturgy and local memory. It is recorded here as tradition, not as attested history.
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.
