Bhairavakona, Hindu temple in Coastal Andhra, India

The temple features rock-cut architecture with an excavated shrine housing sculptures from the 8th century and stone carvings depicting divine figures.

The temple complex dates back to the Chola period, showing architectural elements and religious influences from the Tamil dynasty of southern India.

Devotees gather at the temple during festivals dedicated to Lord Bhairava, performing rituals and offering prayers according to Hindu traditions.

The temple remains open from sunrise to sunset, with special ceremonies conducted on the eighth day of each lunar fortnight.

Local worshippers bring alcohol as an offering to Lord Bhairava, following an ancient tradition that distinguishes this temple from others in the region.
