Simhachalam Temple, Hindu temple on Simhachalam Hill, Visakhapatnam, India.
The temple complex features three outer courtyards, five gateways, and two temple tanks, with intricate stone carvings adorning the square shrine and tower.
Construction of the temple began in 1098 AD, with the main sanctum completed in 1267 AD during the reign of Eastern Ganga king Narasingha Deva I.
The temple follows Vaishnavite philosophy established by Ramanuja, conducting daily rituals and ceremonies according to the Satvata Samhita of Pancharatra Agama.
