About
Sri Mallikarjuna Swamy Kamakshi Tayee Temple was built in the year 1150 A.D. and is located on the banks of Penna river.
Once Kasyapa Prajapathi wanted to perform Yagna and started searching for the place in the southern part of India. meanwhile he reached Rajathagiri, which is located north to Penna river and decided to perform Yagna there. Kasyapa installed three Yagna Gundams namely, Daskhanagni, Aahananiyagni, Aaraspathyagni to perform Yagna. Lord Siva was very much pleased with Kasyapa’s Yagna and emerged out of Yagna Gundam in a Linga shape. It is mentioned in the Skanda Purana, that the place where Yagna is held is called Jannada, which later took the form as Jonnavada.
Goddess Parvathi then reached Jonnavada in search of Lord Siva. Lord Siva requested Goddess to stay here at this place. On his, request Goddess self manifested and started residing in the Penna river. Later fishermen installed the idol on the banks of Penna river and started offering prayers, which caught in their fishing net.
During the 4th century, Aadi Sankaracharya on his way to Kailasagiri found that this Idol is the manifestation of the Goddess Parvathi and installed the idol along with Lord Siva in the temple.
There is a lake near to temple which is called Kasyapa Theertham, belief is that whoever takes a dip here will be free from committed sins in the present life.
