Sabari River
The Sabari River, a major tributary of the Godavari, holds a special place in the mythology and folklore of the Bhadrachalam region. It is believed that the river is named after Shabari, a revered tribal devotee of Lord Rama from the epic Ramayana. The story goes that Shabari, a humble and pure-hear ted woman, waited for Lord Rama for years, hoping to offer him the fruits she had lovingly collected. When Lord Rama finally arrived at her ashram, she, in her overwhelming devotion, tasted each fruit before offering it to him, to ensure they were sweet and worthy of her divine guest. Lord Rama, touched by her selfless devotion, graciously accepted her offering and granted her salvation. This poignant tale of unwavering faith and pure devotion has been passed down through generations, and the Sabari River is a living monument to this beautiful story. The river, with its serene waters, is a great place to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city and to enjoy a peaceful and serene experience.
