MARIPUDI
BRIEF HISTORY OF THE KSHETRA(STHALA PURANAM):
Earlier Saliva Telanga Rayulu (an ardent devotee of Lakshmi Narasimha swamy) used to have his daily meals only after he got the news from his people that naivedyam is offered of or Ahobila Narasimha swamy. Lord in order to test him saw to it that he doesn’t get the news of Lord’s naivedyam for few days. All these days this devotee skipped his food and kept waiting for news. Pleased with his Bhakti, Lord came on to this hill top.
