Sri Subramanya Swamy Temple in Vijayawada, in detail. Situated on the foot of Indrakiladri hills  reachable from Kothapet, Sri Subramanya Swamy Temple in Vijayawada is dedicated to Sri Subramanya Swamy (Murugan) - the generalissimo of the ground forces of the devas and the son
of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. The story behind this illustrious temple is rather peculiar and extremely enthralling. lddhipalli Guruvula Das, a pious follower and admirer of Lord Subrahmanya, used to offer Surya Namaskara to Lord Surya Bhagavan day-after-day.
 On an auspicious day, Sri
Subramanya Swamy appeared to him in an avatar of a snake.The flabbergasted devotee felt blessed.
Exactly after six days of this incredible appearance of Sri Subramanya Swamy, lddhipalli Guruvula Das had a dream in which the almighty wanted him to erect a temple, with the help of the local people. Later, when the pious devotee decided to build a temple, the local people suggested him to
visit the temples of Lord Muruga in Tamil Nadu and choose one that is worthy of imitation. 
The devotee went on a pilgrimage to the famous Aarupadai Veedu (Six Holy Abodes) of Lord Murugan in Tamil Nadu. He went on to visit Thiruthani Subramanya Swami Temple Swamimalai Swaminatha Swamy Temple Pazhani Dandayudhapani Temple Pazhamudircholai Subramanya Temple Thiruparankunram Subrahmanya Swami Temple Tiruchendur Subrahmanya Swami Temple
Among the six holy abodes of Lord Murugan in Tamil Nadu, lddhipalli Guruvula Das picked Thiruthani Subramanya Swami Temple and the primary deity of the temple - Lord Tanikesan with divine consorts Deivanai and Valli (Sri Valli Deivanai Sametha Lord Subramnayar), and commenced withconstruction. As luck would have it, the sincere devotee struck a priceless buried treasure - a structure of Sri
Balasubramanya Swamy and a few clay lamps, while excavation. His joy knew no bounds that went on to establish two sacred sites, one for Sri Balasubramanya Swamy and another for Sri Valli Deivanai Sametha Lord Subramnayar. During the year 1954, the sacred idols were installed according to the Agama Shastras as per the traditions of Hinduism. 
A large number of people participated in the auspicious occasion of Ashtabandhanam and Kumbhabhishekam of Sri Subramanya Swamy Temple in Vijayawada. Furthermore, just close to the cave shrine, an ant hill is found - the natural habitat of snakes that is revered by people with equal zeal as that of primary deity. Therefore, Sri Subramanya Swamy Temple in Vijayawada is endued with a triplex distinction, that is to say, Sri Dandayudhapani Swamy in the form of a boy, Sri Valli Devayanai sametha Subramanya - Lord Mururgan with his divine consorts and lastly; the
almighty in the form of a serpent. The three forms of Sri Subramanya Swamy in a same location
is regarded to be singular and the temple is frequented by devotees from faraway locations. Learned about this unique Sri Subramanya Swamy kshetram, Sri Jayendra Saraswati
Swamigal, the 69th acharya and pontiff of the renowned Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham - a famed Hindu monastic establishment situated in the temple town of Kanchipuram in
Tamil Nadu, offered the deities and structures of Balipeetha, Idumban and so on. Besides, Sri Jayendra Saraswati Swamigal laid the foundation stone for the flight of steps.
Many other eminent gurus and acharyas like Sri la Sri Sivanadha Mouna Swamigal of Thiruvalam, Thirumuruga Kirupanandha Variyar Swamigal visited this shrine and made
the place of worship proud.
