MOPIDEVI - VALLI DEVASENA SAMETHA SUBRAHMANYA AALAYAM

Skandapurana embodies an elaborate account of the glory of this famous kshetra, while dealing with the unprecedented sacredness of river Krishna and the temples built on its banks. This temple was built by Agasthya maharishi first and was endowed liberally by the princes of great fame. Another uniqueness observable here is - river Krishna is flowing in the northern direction. According to another belief current in these parts Lord Subrahmanya directed one of the ardent devotees by name Parvathalu in a dream to build a temple for him and he had been abiding in the form of Linga in an ant-hill there. At once, the pious devotee dug out the ant-hill and found to his fortune a grand linga with unusual sheen and dazzling polish. He built a temple with public donations in the Dravidian' style of architecture. It is imposing in construction and vast in dimensions. The archamurti Subrahmanya swamy flanked by his dear spouses Valli and Devasena has earned a great name for instant accessibility and exceeding compassion. It is said that all the diseases of eyes are cured with a forty-day-vrata. And lo! no medical aid is necessary thereafter. There is a big ant-hill in the campus inhabited by divine serpents and fulfil .the designs of bhaktas if ardent worship is offered. On account of several miraculous occurrences taking place in the lives of pious bhaktas, it is being visited by a steady stream of devotees throughout the year. Daily worship is offered with devotion due and periodical festivals with great pomp and splendour.
