==Toponomy==
There are many legends behind the origin of the name Vijayawada. Goddess Durga killed the demon and relaxed in this place for some time. As she was victorious (''vijaya''), the place came to be known as Vijayawada (''vijaya'' translates to victory and ''wada'' as place/location, literally "The Place of Victory"). The epic Mahabharata refers to the Indrakiladri hills as the place where Arjuna secured Pashupatastra from Lord Shiva. The city thereafter came to be known as ''Vijayavatika'' and later as Vijayawada. In some legends, Vijayawada was referred to as ''Rajendracholapura''. A tale behind its acquiring the name ''"Bezawada"'' is that Goddess Krishnaveni (River Krishna) requested Arjuna to make a passage for her to merge into the Bay of Bengal. Hence, Arjuna made a ''bejjam'' (hole) through the mountains and the place came to be known as ''Bejjamwada ''which later changed to ''Bezawada''.
