Boyakonda
One of the most visited place in Chittoor District of Andhra Pradesh. I think Boyakonda Gangamma temple receive most devotee's aftter Tirumala and Kanipakam.
What is there ? Boyakonda is remote place with Gangamma temple on top of small stonny hill. The temple is popular to people in AP, Tamilnadu and Karnataka who believe Gangamma goddess.
When to Visit ? You can plan to visit all days but majority of pooja's and visitors prefer Sunday and Tuesday.
Location: Boyakonda is located near Chowdepally (6 kms), on the way to Madanapalli (15 kms) and 12 kms from Punganur. Better to reach the place on your own vahicle because busses from Chowdepally, Madanapalli and Punganur are normally heavy crowded.
Speciality: Two major specialities of the temple.....traditionally, people who want to take decisions (by keeping flower on Goddess head, if it falls on right side then their dream comes true, otherwise :) ) and rest are coming here to pray by sacrificing animals / birds. Every Tuesday & Sunday, ~ 30,000 visitors come with Goat, sheep, Chicken to this place. Non-veg with alcohol are common here and most of the people organsizing dinners also arrange the same :)
