MANGALAGIRI |

|
| There is another
legend that, in the Tretayuga, Lord Rama could not get liberation in spite of strict
observance of the Dharma and therefore he was advised to visit this temple to get Mukti.
That is why this hill is also called the Totadri. In the Kitayuga, when the ocean
Ksheerodadhi was being churned by the Mandara hill, Sri MahaIakshmi came out of it. The
Devas constructed a Pushkarani by bringing the waters from all the ancient and holy rivers
of the land, and Sri MahaIakshmi after a bath in this holy Pushkarani offered herself to
Lord Narayana as his beloved consort. This Pushkarani is said to exist in Mangalagiri and
hence it is even now called as Lakshmi Pushkarani. |
