It is not just the green hills and blue waters that Visakhapatnam is famous for. Akin to any other city with a proud heritage, the city of destiny too boasts may prized possessions. Be it the ever-bustling Poorna market, the magnificent Kursura submarine or even the many sacred summits, Visakhapatnam certainly holds several distinctions. In addition, the city is also home to some of the oldest businesses in the region. Here are 5 of the many such popular and the oldest stores in Visakhapatnam.
Having retained its old-time look, charm and values, the Ayurvedic shop of Pacchipulusu Venkata Sannaiah continues to be a landmark on Kurupam market main road for the past 150 years in Vizag. It’s just one among the many small shops that line the main road near Kurupam market. But ask anyone, right from auto drivers to Vizag’s old-timers and locals in the region, and they will helpfully guide you towards the shop. From ever since the store started, it has been selling Ayurvedic medicines, chemicals for fireworks and puja samagri for ceremonies and functions like housewarming and marriages to even uncommon ones such as dhvaja stambham for temples. It continues to stand as one of the oldest stores in Visakhapatnam.
