Bhadradri Temple, also known as the Bhadrachalam Sita Ramachandra Swamy Temple, is a popular Hindu pilgrimage site located on the banks of the Godavari River in Telangana, India. The temple is dedicated to Lord Rama and is believed to have been constructed by a 17th-century saint, Bhakta Ramadas. It is said that Lord Rama visited the place during his exile and stayed there with his consort, Sita, and his brother, Lakshmana. The temple complex comprises several shrines, including those of Lord Rama, Sita, and Hanuman. The temple is visited by thousands of devotees every year, especially during festivals like Ram Navami and Vaikunta Ekadasi.
