Shree Mahavir Courier Branches in East Godavari

About East Godavari — A Brief History

East Godavari sits on the eastern coast of Andhra Pradesh, where the Godavari river fans out into a wide delta before meeting the Bay of Bengal. The headquarters town is Kakinada, the busiest port on the Andhra coast, but the district covers many older settlements like Rajahmundry, Pithapuram, Amalapuram and Mandapeta. The town of Rajahmundry has been a centre of Telugu culture for over a thousand years the eleventh-century poet Nannayya translated the first portions of the Mahabharata into Telugu while serving at the court of the Eastern Chalukya king Rajaraja Narendra here.

The Godavari delta is one of the richest rice-and-aquaculture belts in India, with thousands of small paddy fields, prawn farms and coconut groves stretching from Kakinada all the way south to the river's many mouths. The Konaseema region of the delta, with its dense coconut groves and quiet backwaters, is sometimes called the God's Own Country of Andhra Pradesh. The Antarvedi temple at the southern tip, where the Godavari finally meets the sea, is an important Vaishnava pilgrim spot.

Beyond rice and aquaculture, the district is one of India's biggest oil-and-gas producing regions, with the ONGC and GAIL operations in the KG Basin offshore, and the Reliance KG-D6 deep-water gas fields. Kakinada port is a major fertiliser, edible-oil and grain export hub. Shree Mahavir Courier's East Godavari branches handle the daily run of port papers, oilfield dispatch, rice and seafood trade documents and family parcels for the district and the smaller settlements like Rajahmundry, Amalapuram, Tuni and Pithapuram every working day.
