KALKAVATAR KSHETRAS IN ANDHRA PRADESH

Mangalagiri - Venkateswaraswamy Aalayam

The famous pilgrim town Mangalagiri houses many ancient temples of great repute, in addition to Rajyalakshmi Narasimhaswamy Temple. The Venkateswaraswamy temple is built amidst those hoary temples beckoning ardent attention. The icon of the Lord of Seven Hills in standing posture as in Tirumala casts a spell on the viewers by his size, sheen and excellent floral decoration. This decently built ancient temple contains all the essential parts. And many adorable Vaishnavate gods are installed in elegantly crected mini-shrines and grand niches. Periodical festivals and nitya puja are offered according to the tenets of agamas. Its glorious past is its plus point for visitation. All yatris pay homage to this Kaliyuga Bhagawan invariably; for, it is believed that this kshetra grants mokshaprapti with a mere single visit. Lord Sri Rama, it is recorded, visited this temple and obtained Mukti. As the story goes, despite his adherence to righteousness and striving for Dharmapalana, he had problems and they robbed him of his mental peace and physical stamina. When advised by Vasishta, his Kulaguru, he visited and worshipped this Lord. He shot what he had lost. And anyone can fulfill his device, if only proper approa<-h is made though austerities.

It is accessible by town bus from Vijayawada, the premier town of Andhra Pradesh.
