The legend has that King Swethakethu was a righteous ruler and the
people of his Kingdom were lived a happy and prosperous life. After his death
his soul possessed with an insatiable hunger. Although he was a righteous
ruler, during his lifetime he was not performed any kind of charity to the
hungry and needy people. King Swethakethu approached Sage Agastya as per
the advice of Lord Brahma. Sage Agastya instructed the King to contribute
all the merits he had attained during his life time into a golden ring which
could be utilized for the performance of Annadhanam on this sacred land.
In this way, King Swethakethu’s soul attained peace. Performing
Annadhanam or any kind of charity on this sacred land would yield commendable
devoutness.
This temple remains open from 6.00AM to 12.00PM in the morning and
5.00PM to 9.00PM in the evenings. The visiting hours may change during
the time of winter.
Jai Sriman Narayana !!
