01 — The story

Ramanarayanam is a Hindu temple on Korukonda Road in Vizianagaram, Andhra Pradesh, about 45 km from Visakhapatnam. The NCS Charitable Trust built it on a 15-acre site, taking the Ramayana as its theme, and its whole layout takes the form of a bow with an arrow.

The temple soon became a major attraction for the Uttarandhra region, drawing more than 2.4 million visitors in its first 18 months and ranking among the most visited places in Vizianagaram. It has good connections to both Vizianagaram and Visakhapatnam, with Visakhapatnam Airport 50 km away and the Bhogapuram Airport, now under development, at 15 km.
