History
There are no places like this, as the word "Upamaka" implies. According to legend, the king of Kandregula, Sri Krishna Bhupala, built this temple in the East Godavari District in the 6th century.Garudadri is the location of this temple (Hill area). The Lord is seated on his horse, facing North, with his consort Goddess Lakshmi Devi. Sri Srimannarayana Tridandi Pedda Jeeyar Swamy installed a Ramasthoopam in 1964. His Sthoopam is one of India’s 108 Ramasthoopas.
The temple’s history is explained in the Brahma Vaivarta Puranam, also known as “Garudachala Mahatmayam,” and in a treatise by poet Brown. This tract is currently available at the “Kannimara” Library in Chennai. This Kshethram is one of the 108 sacred Vaishnava Abhimana Kshethrams, according to Sri Ramanuja. Simhachalam is known as “Tharsyadri Simhachale” after this. This Kshethram is thought to date from 1017 A.D. to 1137 A.D. Lord Sri Venkateswara resides at the top of “Garudadri Hill.”
To the viewers yonder, the Hill resembles the shape of “Garuda.” The Lord gives Bakthakoti “Darshan ” while seated on his horse alongside “Lakshmi,” the Horse facing north (Devotees). Underneath the hill is a temple dedicated to “Sri Venugopal Swamy.”The sage Narada is said to have created the temple’s “Prathista ” according to the temple’s mythology. Because of the pervade of this location, Sri Venugopala Swamy is well-known. Swamy affectionately refers to Upmaka Kshetram as the “Place of Pavalimpu” (Rest).
In other words, it is a place of rest for the LORD. How fortunate Upmaka Kshetram is to be endowed with this divine favour. Lord Venkateswara – Upamaka guards each fan’s expertise with invisible arms and fulfils their desires. If they have the opportunity to see Lord Venkateswara, they will develop an unspoken bond with Upamaka. Such is the lord’s charisma and magic.
