Akka Mahadevi Caves

During the 12th century, the cave was named after Akka Mahadevi, the renowned philosopher, ascetic and lyricist, who hailed from Karnataka. A Shiva Linga naturally existed in the dark and deep end of the cave and it is believed that Akka Mahadevi did penance in this cave. In order to reach these caves, tourists need to avail the option of motor boats that are arranged by the Tourism Department of Andhra Pradesh.
