| Visakhapatnam is named after the God of valour, Visakha. It is home to the country's largest shipbuilding yard, Hindustan Shipyard, as well as the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant. The city, once a small fishing village, gained cultural and political importance thanks to different dynasties ranging from Kalinga Empire, (260 B.C), the Andhra kings, Vengi, the Pallavas, Cholas, and Gangas, to the Vijayanagar Empire in the 15th century. The British regime transformed the city into a port town, which is now bustling with industrial and commercial activity. |
