Name : Bheemili or Bheemunipatnam
Location : Bheemunipatnam popularly known as 'Bheemli' is located at a distance of 24 Kilometers North east of Visakhapatnam. The place derived its name from 'Bhima', one of the Pandava Brother.
Deity : Lord Narasimha
The beautiful beach at Bheemli is considered to be one of the safest and calmest for swimmers. On the top of a hill, there is a light house and a small shrine dedicated to Lord Narasimha.
Once a Dutch settlement, the 17th century ruins of a fort and cemetery built by the Dutch are seen here. The cemetery named Hollanders Green has some tombs embossed with the skull and cross bones motif of sea pirates.
This blog is collection of Hill Temples from all ages from different religions and countries. I always wonder why temples were built on top of mountains. My strong belief is that benefits of meditation and pranayama are obtained as such when we climb high mountains.
