This
small town located in the Kamalapuram Mandalam of Cuddapah district
of Andhra Pradesh houses an ancient Sivaalayam of great
significance. Sthalapurana places the origin in Tretayuga, and it is
said to have been built by a renowned royal family. It is believed
that Agasthya mahamuni adored this Lord with great fervor, and is
visiting this temple regularly even today in his ethereal form. Some
pious devotees confirm this and produce abundant evidence that they
have seen Agasthyamuni coming out of the temple in the mornings
after offering prayers. Its archamurti relieved the ardent devotees
of their miseries. Though ancient and modest in proportions, it has
all the component parts, like garbha griha, tower, prakara,
courtyards etc.
It
can be reached from Kamalapuram, or Cuddapah by
bus.
