The legend has that Sage Kashyapa performed a grand Yagna on the river banks of Ganges.  There were several Rishis and Sages took part in it, there appeared Maharishi Narada with a discreet query.  Maharishi Narada enquired the Rishis about the purpose of the fire sacrifice and who will be most pleased out of the Trinities?  But Rishis were unable to answer the queries of Maharishi Narada.  They approached Sage Brighu to find an appropriate answer.  Sage Brighu left to Brahma Loka/Satya Loka – The Abode of Lord Brahma in order to get a precise answer and examine the same.   There he found Lord Brahma and Goddess Sri Saraswathy were engaged in reciting Vedas to please Lord Vishnu, they did not pay any attention to Sage Brighu’s obeisance.  Sage Brighu was extremely disappointed and left to Mount Kailash/Shiva Loka - The Abode of Lord Shiva; there he found Lord Shiva and his consort Goddess Sri Parvati absorbed in performing cosmic dance forms.  They were unaware of the presence of Sage Brighu and same thing repeated there too.  Sage Brighu unhappily left to Sri Vaikundham - The Abode of Lord Vishnu.   There he found Lord Vishnu in his cosmic sleep and Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi attending to him.  This infuriated Sage Brighu, in a sudden rage he raised his leg and kicked on the chest of the Lord the place where Sri Mahalakshmi resides.  Instantly, Lord Vishnu rose from his cosmic sleep and took hold of Sage Brighu’s feet regretfully, with a deep concern pressed it with a thought of his feet might have got hurt by this action.    The most pleased Sage Brighu declared that Lord Vishnu is the Supreme Lord amongst the Trinities most delighted with the fire sacrifices.   Therefore, Sage Brighu peacefully left Sri Vaikundham.
 
 
After this incident, Lord Vishnu and Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi had a heated argument upon the disrespectful act of Sage Brighu and Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi left Sri Vaikundham.  It was unbearable for Lord Vishnu to live without Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi at Vaikundham, so he also came down to Earth and resided in an anthill situated in Venkatadri hills on this sacred land.   Lord Brahma, Lord Shiva and deities assumed the form of Cow and calves and they began to attend Lord Vishnu in the anthill in order to preserve the existence of Trinities and thereby protect the Universe.   The cows served the Lord by pouring its milk on the anthill.   One day, the cowherd noticed the cows pouring their milk on the anthill, it infuriated him and he threw an axe on the cow.  Suddenly, there appeared Lord Srinivasa from the anthill and protected the cows from its danger.  Instead, Lord Srinivasa got a cut mark on his chin and started to bleed.  At this very sight, the cowherd died out of shock.  The King who was ruled the province came with his men to inspect the land, Lord appeared before him and cursed for the irrational behavior of the cowherd.  Later, the most compassionate Lord pardoned the King and remained as Lord Srinivasa on this sacred land known as Varaha Kshetram. 
 
 
There are several interesting myths attached to this temple.    Rangadasa an ardent devotee of Lord Vishnu found an idol of Lord Vishnu on the river banks of Swami Pushkarani.   He became thoughtful at the sight of the idol of Lord stayed behind the open space at the intense heat and cold.  He sincerely constructed a rough wall around the idol to protect from the weather changes and started to worship Lord.  Lord was pleased at the devotion of Rangadasa and blessed him.   Rangadasa born to a Royal couple Suvira and Nandini, they named the child as Tondaiman and became a legal heir to the throne.   He became the ruler of that province and continued his selfless worship to Lord.    While Tondaiman Chakravarthy on his hunting expedition arrived at this sacred land and found the Idol of Lord Vishnu.  Shortly, he constructed a magnificent temple of Lord Vishnu on its place to worship.
 
Ananthalwar, disciple of Sri Ramanujar and one of the fervent devotees of Lord Vishnu constructed a beautiful flower garden in order to worship Lord with fresh and alluring flowers.  The couple worked all day to find a water source and created a well for watering plants.  They were totally engrossed in their work.  There appeared a Brahmachari with a helping hand to Ananthalwar’s wife.    Ananthalwar refused any help from the Brahmachari and angrily threw the spade on him.  The spade hit on Brahmachari’s chin and started to bleed, instantly he disappeared from the scene.  In the evening, Ananthalwar with a heavy heart entered in the sanctum and sanctorum of Lord and found the blood oozing from the chin of the idol.    Ananthalwar turned inconsolable; He earnestly prayed to Lord and applied a herbal substance on the wounded chin.   This particular custom is still continuing in this temple as a part of daily rituals to Lord Srinivasa. 
 
 
This temple remains open from 3.00AM to 3.00PM in the mornings 4.00PM to 9.00PM in the evenings (approximately 18 .00 to 20.00 hours a day).
