Covering an area of 261
square kilometers, Vijayawada is one of the larger commercial cities of Andhra
Pradesh. It is one of the most culturally significant places in south India
with a soaring population of 1 million. The “Land of Victory” or Vijayawada is
famous for its many temples, museums and heritage buildings. It was ruled by
different dynasties and kings, among which the great Krishna Deva Raya holds a
special place.
Legend has it that it
was named as Vijaya Bahuda or “returning after victory” by the rulers of Orissa
after conquering it. It is fondly known as Bezawada. Originating on the bank of
river Krishna, it holds a special position in Hindu mythology and is a sacred
place of worship for many Hindus. The landscape of Vijayawada is dotted with historical
temples, artistic caves and museums. It is also home to the best corporate
education systems in India.

The topography of Vijayawada is flat with few ranges of low and medium sized hills. The climate here is just as unvarying with hot summers and moderate winters. The temperature can rise up to 40 degree celsius during April-May. It receives moderate rainfall from June to October, when the city becomes fresh and exotic. November to February is the best time to visit as the weather is pleasant and dry, perfect for sightseeing. Vijayawada flights are plenty in number and find their entrance through the Vijayawada Airport, situated at a distance of 20 kilometers from the city.
