LORD NARASIMHA OF KARPARA KSHETRA

After several days of arduous journey, he reached home. Just at this moment he heard, the sounds of anklet bells. He turned his head. What did he find there? Oh wonderful! Found he then there an enchanting image Sri Venkateswara and a sapling of an Aswantha tree. Highly elated, he began offering pujas, like Ksheerabhishek, sahastranamapuja etc, to them with unbounded fevour. People listening to that devotion - soaked story, commenced praying to lord Venkateswara with due rituals. Their desires were fulfilled; and they crossed every kind of hurdle standing in their way. So the popularity of the divinity spread fast and quick, and in course of time, it became a famous a thirtha Kshetra, attracting thousands of worshippers. The Aswartha sapling too grew steadily and became a big tree. And it too received due worship by the visiting devotional community, since Bhagavan Krishna proclaimed that the pipal tree is the best among the Vriksha santati - family of tress and he abides in it for ever.
