We ( Mr VHP Sarma, Selvaguru & myself) visited Visakhapatnam temples on 13-08-16. we first visited Sri Sampath vinayaka temple. it is very famous temple.it is on the side of busy road. A small temple but very powerful god. it attracts more people. we went in the morning time the MILK abshekam was going on so we hand full darsan of sampath vinayaka. the straight path was covered by people. hence we went back side and saw abishekam in the mirror.
