| There was no temple
their till then. But the sanctity of the place gained great prominence. It was a dense
mango forest where many sages like Roma, Narada, Vaikhanasa, Dadhichi, Angeerasa, Jabali,
and Kalavar. Kanva and others were engaged in deep
meditation and penance. Lord Vishnu, seeing this holy assemblage, was pleased to direct
Viswakarma, the celestial architect, to construct a beautiful city, comparable to
Amaravat; the heavenly abode of Lord Vishnu, where He stays in His physical form, so that
the sages and others might get the benefit of His darsan daily. Viswakarma transformed the
forest into a holy city with a temple, where people from all parts of the country came and
settled down.
