SRIKURMAM |
|
|
| The presiding deity
of the temple, Lord Vishnu, goes by the name of Srikurmanatha. There are several sacred
Tirthas within the temple. The popular legend is that the Lord is said to have first
appeared here to bless king Swetamahipathi. It is said that the bones of the deceased if
thrown into the Swetapushkarani tank get converted into tortoises or kurmas, and hence
unclean persons are forbidden to touch the water from the tank. |
