PITHAPURAM

The Kunti Madhavaswamy temple found adjacent is one of the five dedicated of its type to Sri Krishna, called here Madhava. Mother Kunti installed the icon in this place, so it is called Kunti Madhavaswamy. Hence double sanctity. This august deity was worshipped by Vyasa, Valmiki Agastya in the past. On account of its associations with the most worshipful deities, the kshetra gained a high place in the scriptures.

Annual festivals are celebrated for different deities at different times, like Maghabahula Ekadasi for Kukkuteswara, Suddha Ekadasi for Kunti Madhava, Palguna for Kumaraswamy and Karthikamasa for Venugopalaswamy. Pay a visit and earn a merit.
