About Madapati Guest House
Madapati Guest House — also called Madapati Venkateswara Pantulu Guest House — is one of the pilgrim lodges maintained by the Sri Durga Malleswara Swamy Varla Devasthanam, the temple body that administers Vijayawada’s famous Kanaka Durga Temple on Indrakeeladri hill. The Devasthanam runs its own accommodation so devotees can stay close to the temple at modest cost. Madapati is compact, clean and well-maintained, with only a small number of rooms — so demand is high, particularly on weekends, festival days and through the Dasara (Navaratri) season.
Room Types & Tariff
| Room type | Count | Indicative tariff / night |
|---|---|---|
| AC room | 13 | around ₹1,344 |
| AC suite | 5 | around ₹2,240 |
| Meeting hall | 1 | on request |
Tariffs and room counts are revised by the Devasthanam from time to time. Always confirm the current rate and availability on the official portal before you travel.

Sri Vyasa Pooja is an information guide — we do not book rooms or take payments. To reserve accommodation, use one of these official Devasthanam options:
- Online: Book through the Andhra Pradesh temple online services portal at tms.ap.gov.in/SKDVIJ, where room availability and tariffs are listed.
- Official website: Check kanakadurgamma.org for the latest accommodation details and contact numbers.
