Veera Vijaya Anjaneya Temple

Veera Vijaya Anjaneya Swamy

Veera Vijaya Anjaneya Swamy Temple is one of the oldest temples which dates back to 1900. The monument was carved on stone near a small hill near the village. The people in and around the village visit the temple once in a year during Kartika purnima to perform poojas and abhisheka to the Lord Hanumanji. Then, the people of D.P. Palayam decided to renovate the temple. Individuals like Putta Subhramanyam Naidu and prominent villagers joined together and built the temple for Hanumanji which took between 9–10 years. Gaddam Padmanabha Naidu, who supervised the work, was later elected President/Dharmakartha for the temple.

On 1 July 2011 the Chaitra Purnima Kumbhaabhishekam for this temple is performed. Thousands of devotees and Swami Kanchi Jayendra Saraswathi from Kanchipuram and Durga Prasad Swamiji from Vijayawada or Bejawada joined this auspicious function and made it as a grand success.

Devotees can also take up a Vrata deeksha called Anjaneya malaadhaarana for a period of 40 days and perform the rituals at the end either at the Hanuman Temple in the village or at Vijaywada. Every full moon day, and on Hanuman Jayanti, people celebrate the occasion in a very auspicious manner. People from many other villages, towns and cities visit the temple in large numbers every month.

The major occupation of the village is agriculture. Sugar cane, Paddy (unmilled rice) and other vegetables are cultivated here and transported to the nearby markets called Ulavar Santhai in Tamil in Gudiyattam[2].
