BHADRACHALAM

UNIQUENESS

It was this region that was consecrated by the dwelling Sri Rama in a parnasala during his self exile, and the very same area desecrated by the sinful visiting of that ten-headed demon abductor - Ravana, who persuaded Mother Sita to cross Lakshmana Rekha to carrying her away to Lankarajya, all but for his destruction; it is in this locality, a great devotee Pokala Dhammakka obtained the much adored image of Sri Rama, now receiving worship in the sanctum sanatorium; it is this revenue division sanctified by the administration of Kancharla Gopanna; it is this holy place visited by bhakta Kabir, the far famed Muslim Saint-Poet to giving the honorific title 'Ramadasu' on the Tahsildar Gopanna; it is this temple's presiding deity adorning with the rare jewels made from the revenue collection of Nizam; it is this archamurthi receiving the offerings of Pattuputtam and akshatas right from the days of Tanisha, the Nawab of Nizam to the present day democratically elected rulers; it is in this picturesque primeval forest, Mother Sita found the Mayavi Maricha in the form of golden deer resulting in her abduction; it is this sacred zone that bears the testimony to Lakshmana's concern for Mother Sita's safety in the form a line drawn before the hermitage reverentially called "Lakshmana Rekha." Associated with such several awe-some signficant incidents, partaken by devas and manavas since the days of Tretayuga, this Mokshapuri is luring lacs of devotees from the four corners of our sacred land, and is growing in dasadisas due to concrete historical evidence that eulogises the accounts of mythological antiquity.
