Lord Visakheswara Temple

🇮🇳 FACTS ABOUT INDIA 🇮🇳
=======================
 VISAKHAPATNAM got its name from Lord Visakheswara Temple (Also known as Lord Karthikeya, second son of Lord Shiva) now located beneath the seawaters. When the Britishers built a port along the natural harbour here, they pronounced the original name as Vizagapatam (pronounced as Vee-Zaag-ah-paat-ahm). But when they wrote it down, whoever read it pronounced it as Y-zag-ah-patam.

Thus visakhapatnam became Vizagapatam and in short, Vizag. The citizens of visakhapatnam came to be known as Vizagites.

Vizag is also called *Waltair* . word originated from two very common telugu words related to fishing “Vala – Theddu”. Vala means Net and Theddu means Oar. Since the shore was filled extensively with fishermen, it might be called “ValaTheddu”, which subsequently turned into Walatedu and Walteru and finally Waltair.

*Symbolism explanation behind Krishna`s butter stealing act* 

Krishna, the eternal ruler of hearts, stole butter from the neighbourhood. Along with his friends, he would quietly enter people’s houses and grab clay pots full of freshly churned butter. And hence even till date he is addressed as Makhan Chor, meaning butter thief.

But have you ever really wondered what this butter stealing act means?

Krishna stole hearts that were as pure and soft as butter. Just the way butter is white; our hearts need to be spotless. One mustn’t nurse anger, pride, greed, envy, hatred and ego in the heart. Hence, Krishna is also known as Chittachora (one who steals hearts).

Here’s another explanation – The mind must be as light as butter. When we churn the curd, the butter floats on the surface. Likewise, our minds must be detached from the materialistic world. Only then, would we succeed in attaining enlightenment
