Diviseema, Deltaic island in Krishna District, Andhra Pradesh, India.
Diviseema is a deltaic island in Krishna District, Andhra Pradesh, where the Krishna River splits into two branches at Puligadda before flowing into the Bay of Bengal. This division creates fertile plains divided into seven administrative areas: Avanigadda, Challapalli, Mopidevi, Nagayalanka, Koduru, Ghantasala, and Movva.
The island formed through the natural split of the Krishna River and sediment deposits that created a deltaic landscape pattern. A devastating cyclone struck in 1977 and caused major destruction across the region.
The region gave rise to notable people like Pingali Venkayya, who designed India's national flag, and composer Ghantasala Venkateswara Rao. These connections show how the river and land shaped a distinct local identity.
The area is easiest to explore during drier months when paths and fields are more accessible to visitors. The mangrove forests along the coast can be reached on foot, though they require patience and proper gear for wet and uneven ground.
The Krishna Wildlife Sanctuary along the coast holds dense mangrove forests that provide a rare habitat for birds and fish. This forest sits where river water meets the sea, showing how delta geography constantly shifts.
