Legacy
Today a statue of Raju stands at Seethammadhara Junction and another on the beach road near The Park Hotel in Visakhapatnam. A statue was erected in Pandringi, his maternal grand mother's village near Bheemili, about 28 kilometres (17 mi) from Visakhapatnam.
In 1986 the Indian Postal Department issued a commemorative stamp featuring Raju in the series 'India's struggle for freedom'.
The Telugu movie Alluri Seetharama Raju was made about Raju's life directed by V. Rama Chandra Rao and starring Krishna as Raju. The popular song 'Telugu Veera Levara' from the film has inspired generations of the Telugu community.
The only photograph of Raju, which was taken after his death, is preserved in the State Archives of Andhra Pradesh at Hyderabad.
