Biccavolu is a village in East Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh. Prior to the 13th-century, it was a much larger historic town and religious center. Major Hindu temples, particularly of the Shaiva and Surya tradition, were built here by the Eastern Chalukyas of Vengi between the 8th and 10th-century. Six of these are reasonably well preserved for architectural studies. These temples and iconography therein are useful illustrations of innovative interpretations of early Sanskrit texts on temple architecture and the Hindu synthesis of ideas across those found from the Cholas in the South (Tamil Nadu), the Kalingas in the east (Odisha) and the western Deccan region's explorations (upper Karnataka).
