Sri Bhramarambika Devi Temple is one of the 51 Sakthi Sthalam/Shakthi Peedam located in Andhra Pradesh. There are several legends associated with Goddess Sri Bhramarambika. The demon Arunasura underwent severe austerities and worshipped Lord Brahma. Lord Brahma was pleased at the devotion of Arunasura and blessed him with extra ordinary boons including a peculiar boon that he would not be able to kill by living beings of two legged or four legged. After obtaining several boons Arunasura started to harass the life of deities and sages. All the deities appealed to Goddess Sri Adi Shakthi to save from the atrocities of the demon.

Later, she married was to Lord Shiva against the will of her father.
A Grand Yagna was conducted by Dakshaprajapathi ended in disaster, his own daughter Goddess Sri Sati had to sacrifice her life in the sacrificial fire. This catastrophic incident brought trepidation amongst the deities. Inconsolable Lord Shiva carried the lifeless body of Goddess Sri Sati and wandered on the Earth for several years. The functions of Trinities to protect the Universe were shattered. All the deities were frightened about the terrible consequences and appealed to Lord Vishnu.
