| View of Lord Venkateswara Swamy from goddesses lakshmi temple Hill The mythology of this temple is very interesting let's go... |
Generally every temple have a front door and we through and have god and goddesses darshan But here there is no door why ?? Darshan from the windows ??
Here is a MYTH TO THESE :
Bhrigu Maharshi used to do penance here. In Vaikuntha, when Supreme Lord Vishnu removes the eye of wisdom from his Bhrigu Maharshi feet. Then the sage becomes enlightened. “This great sin was caused by kicking you, the creator of the world. "Remove my sin and give me moksha," he begs a lot. then the Supreme Lord Venkateswaara swamy assured Bhirgu Maharshi, "Do penance in this Hills. Worship me, I will give you moksha." Purana says that Swami arose here in this background. Maharishi Bhrigu performed penance here and got darshan of the Lord Vishnu.
Another feature is that the window here has six holes.
Our scriptures refer to the six qualities of human beings -
lust,
anger,
lobha,
moha,
mada,
matsara - as Arishadvarga.
It is difficult for a human being to live without these six qualities. For that, the Supreme Lord said, "Even if you see me, forget everything and worship me. He says, "I will give good fruits". The symbol of this is the darshan of the Lord here through the window with six holes.
Just like the darshan of Krishna in Udupi.
The temple complex has a beautiful temple pond (pushkarani).
This temple is built upon a small hillrock and you have to take nearly 100 foot steps to reach at the top. At the base the hillock is a image of Garuda, the Vahana or vehicle of Srinivasa.
The first thing that strikes a person when sees the temple is the beautiful Gopura the elegant gopurams built add aesthetic value to the temple architecture.
