Kanaka Durga Temple is Vijayawada’s most iconic spiritual landmark—set on Indrakeeladri hill beside the Krishna River, it feels intense, energetic, and deeply devotional. The climb/approach, the view of the river, and the powerful goddess worship make it a “must-visit” for both pilgrims and tourists. Festival periods (especially Navaratri/Dasara season) create a vibrant, city-wide spiritual atmosphere.
