On these ancient banks, restart your own at Alakananda RiverFront, Where Life Restarts.
The Sangam
As the Krishna flows east. And the Paleru curves down from the north.
The Sangam at Alakananda is the confluence of two rivers and two
states — Andhra and Telangana.
Uttara Vaahini
The Sacred Bend
The Krishna flows south for most of its 1,400 kilometre journey, as most Indian rivers do. But at Alakananda it does something rare — it reverses, runs north, then curves back south.
This sacred bend is called Uttara Vaahini, the northward flow. The same rarity that shaped Kashi. Temples rose here where the river defied its course — Muktyala and Vedadri.
At Alakananda you live on the Uttara Vaahini at Mukteswarapuram, where the Krishna has shaped the spiritual and cultural landscape for generations.
31,000 Acres of Reserve Forest
Protected by law. No concrete jungle. Ever.
The forest across the river is a permanent buffer between you and the world.
365 Days of Water
Alakananda is between 2 dams — the Pulichintala Dam upstream and the Prakasam Barrage downstream.
The water levels in this stretch are continuously monitored and regulated for supply of domestic and irrigation water to Amaravati, Vijayawada, Guntur and the entire Krishna delta region — one of India’s most fertile regions.
So Alakananda enjoys a river that never goes dry, even in peak summer.
And with the upcoming 15 TMC Vykuntapuram Barrage near Amaravati which will hold 5 times more water than Prakasam Barrage, it only gets better.

India’s Cleanest Air
31,000 acres of reserve forest across the river. No urban sprawl. The Air Quality Index (AQI) in Hyderabad and Bangalore ranges between 90 and 150. Delhi crosses 400.
In Alakananda, the AQI averages 32. Equal to Switzerland.
The forest, rivers and Alakananda’s lush internal landscaping also create a microclimate — temperatures 5 to 6°C cooler than the surroundings. You breathe what the forest exhales.
River Water the Way it is Meant to Be
From the Srisailam temple, the Krishna flows 300 kilometres through forests, hills, farmland and quaint villages. No major settlements on the river banks.
What you get at Alakananda is some of the purest water, with a natural TDS measurement of just 285 compared to 600+ even in treated water in cities.
And fresh flowing river water — unlike lakes and backwaters — never stagnates. Which means no mosquitoes to spoil your evenings by the river.
Fertile Land
The Krishna carries centuries of sediment, silt and minerals — creating rich fertile soil that nourishes our 40 acre organic food forest, with 72+ varieties of fruits and vegetables.
Residents here eat fresh and organic food harvested the same day, just a few steps from their home.
This is Alakananda
The Paleru River
Remember spending entire days in the river as a child?
Children can still do that here.
A Spiritual Realm
Rivers and temples have always been inseparable.
Enveloped by ancient temples and Sri Swamiji’s Ashram, Alakananda is surrounded by sacred ground. This isn’t just proximity to temples. This is living within a spiritual landscape — along the Krishna which has nurtured generations of Telugu civilizations and cultures.
Sri Sri Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji’s Ashram land sits on 2 acres within Alakananda.
The 800 year old Vedadri Lakshmi Narasimha Swami Temple is 10 minutes by boat. One of only five Pancha Narasimha Kshetras in the Telugu states.
According to its sthala purana, Lord Vishnu rescued the Vedas from a demon who had stolen them from Brahma — turning the Vedas themselves into this hill on the banks of the Krishna.
The Swayambhu Shiva Lingam at Muktyala is 2 minutes by road. Ancient texts describe it as Uttarkashi of the South where sages like Bharadwaja attained salvation.
The very name Muktyala — meaning “place of mukti” — comes from this temple’s sanctity. Vedadri and Muktyala arose at the Uttara Vaahini of the Krishna.
The Koti Lingala Temple, spread across 50 acres, is right next door to Alakananda.
Devotees install Shiva Lingas — one family at a time. Three lakh lingas stand today, with a vision to reach one crore. A living temple built by collective devotion.
The Tirumalagiri Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple, managed by TTD, is 15 minutes away.
The presiding deity is believed to have self-manifested in the form of an anthill with 12 namams in response to Sage Bharadwaja’s penance on the banks of the Krishna River at Muktyala.
The Sri Lakshmi Tirupatamma Ammavari Temple at Penuganchiprolu is twenty minutes from Alakananda, on the banks of the Munneru river.
Tirupatamma, a woman of the region remembered for her devotion and her learning — she studied the Puranas, the Vedas, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, and preached them. She is worshipped here as Shakti.
River life montage15-30 second loop — sunrise yoga at the Sangam, kayaking, fishing from a boat, horse riding by the river, the jetty steps at sunset. Heading and body overlay on the video.
Alakananda isn’t just about the view.
It’s a River Way of Life.
The river isn’t just scenery you look at from a window. It’s a life you live — every day.
Live where time moves differently. Where the forest breathes and the river flows.
