Culture

Visakhapatnam is considered as one of the most peaceful cities in India, with a rich mixture of culture and religious harmony. This city is a unique amalgam of the old and new, where ancient temples now lie in the shadows of gigantic shipyards. Thought Visakhapatnam owes its vibrance and cosmopolitan outlook to the various communities from all over India who have come and settled here, the actual credit rests with the warm and gentle original natives of Vizag (Coastal Andhrites). Almost all the religions in India such as Hinduism, Islam, Buddism, Jainism and Christianity are practiced by the respective communities here.
