Sri Parasurameswara Temple, Gudimallam

The temple called Parasurameswaraalayam is built on the banks of Suvaranamukhi river. There is a fascinating tale about this place. It runs-once there was a devotee by name Parasurameswara, who was worshipping Lord Siva regularly with exceptional ardor using flowers grown in his tank nearby. The flowers were odd in shape and colours-And grand to look at. The Lord was pleased and conferred bliss on him. Seeing this unseen, a demon one day ventured to pluck all the flowers and offered to Siva. Finding the transgression grievous, the pious Sivabhakta entered into a fierce boxing bout with the demon. When the vanquished demon was about to be crushed, Lord Siva appeared and blessed the both with their desire of Sayujyamukti – merging in Him

Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Temple, Srinivasa Mangapuram

After marriage celebrations , Lord Venkateswara Swamy with Goddess Padmavathi did not returned to Tirumala hills. But instead he visited the sage Agasthya’s ashram to seek blessings. Yes, even the lord is humble enough to seek blessings from elderly and wise. As it was scientifically wrong for the newlyweds to scale the hill for six months, the lord was unable to immediately return to the Tirumala mountain-temple. At this situation the sage Agastya suggested that Swamy Venkateswara along with his wife could stay at his humble ashram. The Lord graciously accepted this request and blessed ashram with his presence for the entire six months.
