As per the Legend, Sage Jabali performed penance in the Vaikunta cave on top of this hill. It is believed that Lord Venkateswara Swamy self-manifested here.

He instructed his descendants to worship Lord Venkateswara without fail. 6th descendant, Uppala Akku Bhatlu was not able to climb the hill and prayed Lord Venkateswara for his inefficiency.
