Pithapuram Temple, Ancient Hindu temple complex in Pithapuram, India
The Kukkuteswara Temple features multiple shrines, stone carvings, and a water pond within its expansive grounds in East Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh.
The temple's origins date to the 4th century CE when Pithapuram, then known as Pishtapura, served as the capital for various Andhra kingdoms.
The temple marks the location of one of the 18 Maha Shakti Pithas, where devotees perform rituals for Puruhutika Devi and Lord Shiva.
The temple complex provides accommodation facilities with air-conditioned rooms and connects to major cities through the Chennai-Howrah railway line.
Three sacred spots within the temple grounds allow devotees to perform Pinda Pradanam rituals: Shiro Gaya, Nabi Gaya, and Pada Gaya.
