Srikakulam was once the capital of Andhra Empire. The Andhra King Goutamiputra Satakarni (AD 102-123) ruled over the whole country watered by the rivers Krishna and Godavari. There is a temple of Andhra Mahavishnu, who must have been a noble royal sage. It is said that Sri Krishna Deva Raya worshipped at this temple in 1509 and a dream was asked by the Deity to compose a poem on himself. Later the emperor wrote the book “Amukta Malyada” which is one of the literary classics.
