Bhavani Island is located in the midst of the River Krishna at Vijayawada.
Spread over 58 hectares, it is one of the largest among river islands in India. The island possesses one of the biggest lagoons in the region.
One of its attractions is its nearness to the Prakasam Barrage, which stretches 1223.5 metres across the River Krishna, linking Krishna and Guntur Districts. The Prakasam Barrage is remarkable, and is comparable to the city of Venice with its three canals running through the city of Vijayawada.
The Kanaka Durga temple to which pilgrims flock, is another attraction. Bhavani Island is also a popular picnic spot due to its serene beauty, and the facilities for boat rides and swimming pools.
