Built by Eastern Chalukya king Raja Raja Nerendra on the banks of river Godavari, the city of Rajamahendravaram still has a live memory of him.
This August, the city had also celebrated completion of one-thousand years of the coronation of Raja Raja Narendra, who ruled the city in 1022. His regime came to an end in 1061.
The proud possession of the city is a bunch of seven gold coins that date back to the Eastern Chalukya dynasty including the regime of Raja Raja Narendra.
