Venkatanarasimharajuvaripeta railway station is a surface-level railway station in Chittoor district, Andhra Pradesh, situated on the Renigunta to Arakkonam line. It has two platforms and five broad-gauge tracks and operates as a flag stop, meaning trains only halt here on request.
The station was built as the railway network gradually extended into the rural parts of southern India during the 20th century. The line it sits on links Andhra Pradesh with Tamil Nadu and was an early step in connecting this border region to the broader network.
The station name is so long that it is often shortened on timetables and signs, making it a point of curiosity for travelers passing through. Locals from nearby villages use it as a regular stop for short trips along the line toward Renigunta or Arakkonam.
Only local passenger trains stop here, so it is worth checking which services call at this station before traveling. Facilities are basic, with a small waiting area and a ticket counter, so arriving early gives you time to get settled on the platform.
The station holds one of the longest names of any railway station in India, which alone draws the attention of travelers who spot it on a map or timetable. The name reflects a local family or community name, a naming tradition in this part of Andhra Pradesh that can produce very long place names.
