Beechupally
Beechupally in Jogulamba Gadwal district, Telangana, India, is a shrine of the Hindu god Hanuman. It is located on the banks of the Krishna River about 30 kilometers downstream from the Jurala Project.
Initially, the shrine consisted of a Hanuman temple about 200 meters away from the river and a Shiva lingam temple near the river. During the rainy season the river rises high enough to touch the Shiva lingam temple. A temple of Rama was also built in the area in 1992. For the convenience of devotees, several ghats were built for pushkara snanam,, a ritual bath that takes place every 12 years.
During the 2016 Krishna pushkaras the government of Telangana State made elaborate arrangements and constructed several ghats for the pilgrims.
The Beechupally shrine is near two islands on the Krishna River. The larger island has an area of about 10 km2 and is populated by farmers due to its soil fertility. A smaller island on the east side is called Nizam Konda: its port belongs to the Nawabs of Nizam.
