Located on the left bank of River Godavari in East Godavari district Rajahmundryhas an old history. Its ancient name was Raja Mahendri and it was built as a capital city by the Chalukya Kings in the 11th century. Today it has several ruins of palaces and fort walls. New archeological excavations even suggest that the city may have been in existence far before the Chalukyas. The biggest attraction in Rajahmundry is the river Godavari. The three bridges over the river are the most attractive and lengthy bridges found in Andhra Pradesh. There are many beautiful ghats and parks on the river banks.
