A famous Sri Mallikarjuna Swamy Kamakhsi tai temple is located on the bank of river Pennar, 12 Km from Nellore. It attracts many piligirims. The Village is part of Buchireddipalem Mandal. In tretayuga Mahamuni Kasyapa Brahma performed yagna and pleased Lord Mallikarjuna Swamy thus this place is named as ‘Yagnavatika Jonnawada’. Sri Mallikarjuna Swamy Kamakhsi tai grant to the innumerable devotes their desires, as their God head. Since then he continues conferring boons and his blessings on his devotees. This temple is constructed in the year 1150( Tretayuga). The goddess Kamkshi is belived as an incarnation of Shakti. A ‘Sri Chakram’ was installed here by Sri Jagadguru Sankaracharya. Pilgrims take a holy dip in the lake known as Kachpateertham, near the temple, which washes away all their bad karma. Brahma Rushi Sri Kashyap Mahamuni visited Bhoolokam (The Earth) and wanted to perform Yagna and chosen north of vedadri as Yagna Vatika (place to perform yagna) After successful completion of the Yagna a bright light appeared.

Narasimhakonda

Narasimha Konda

Vedagiri Lakshmimarasimha Swamy devastanam came into being nearly 500 years ago, on the summit of Narasimhakonad. According to the rock inscriptions, this temple was built by the Pallava king Narsimha Varma in the ninth century. Legend goes that the sage Kasyapa established the temple on the bank of Pinakini. And the vedic scripture Brahmapurana reveals that the seven sages (Saptarishis) performed ‘yagnam’(Sacrifice) on the top of Narasimhakonda. The seven (Koneru) tanks were renovated with Mandapas on the hilltop . The holy place lies 15Km. away from Nellore, on the southern bank of the river Pinakini. Every year ‘Brahmotsavams’ are celebrated here in the month of May. Jonnawada is to the north of the river.

Penchalakona

Penchalakona

This is a very ancient sacred place (pilgrim centre). Lord Narasimha manifested Himself here as a huge of rock in ‘Yoga mudra’(in an entwined contemplative posture) and hence it acquired the name of ‘Penusila’ (huge rock) and in course of time became famous as ‘Penchalakona’. Legend has it that after slaying the demon Hiranya Kasipa, Lord Narsimha bathed in Penchalakona and withdrew that ‘Avatara’(incarnation) of Narasimha, shedding His anger and ferocity. The Lord here goes by the name of Somasila Narasimhaswamy and has become one of the Nava Narasimhas (nine manifestations). People belive that because the sage Kanva resided in this area in the past, the river flowing here acquired the name Kanva Nadi and that with efflux of time it became Kandaleru. It is also learnt that the temple was renovated in the 10th century.

Mannar Poluru

Mannar Poluru

The village is close-by to Sullurupet, at a distance of 103 Km. from Nellore. It was built in the 17th century by Bangaru Yadama Nayudu, the living place of mallayodas or wrestlers. According to a legend, it was here that Lord Sri Krishna defeated Jambavantha in a duel and married his daughter Jambavati and that Lord MahaVishnu deflated the bloated ego of Garutmata here alone. Apart from the idol of Satyabhama and Jambavati, the two consorts of Lord Krishna, the idol of Jambavantha creating the illusion of shedding tears are bound to amaze the viewers. One cannot help marvelling at the sculptural splendour exuded by the idols of the beauties.

Covid Affected Hindus Events: Narendra Choudary Tummala Koti Deepostavam And More

Hinds devotional events like Narendra Choudary Tummala Koti Deepostavam Covid pandemic has changed the way people live, communicate and offer pujas to their religious gods. Especially, in countries like India where the people give utmost priority to their religious events and activities. The covid pandemic has completely evaporated the earlier methods of worshipping gods and rituals maintained for centuries and decades.

With the increasing spread of covid, the governments (both state and central) have banned social gatherings in religious places and canceled the most popular religious events. Not only the governments, many people such as NTV Founder Chowdary Tummala have voluntarily stopped most popular religious events such as Koti Deepostavam in order to stop the spread of coronavirus.  

Hindus are the ones who give utmost importance to religious festivals, events, and activities. Usually, Hindus participate in various devotional activities such as the nine-day Brahmotsavam festival organized by Tirupati devasthanam, the Ratha Yatra event organized by Puri devastanam, Koti Deepostavam organized by NTV Founder Chowdary Tummala, and more during auspicious days.

During the lockdown that has lasted for more than a year, the hindu religion followers have suffered a lot. In this article, we have discussed a few hindus festivals and religious activities that got affected due to the covid pandemic.

Hindu Festivals

The first hindu festival that got affected due to the corona was Holi – the New Year’s day according to the HIndu mythology. In succession, many festivals of south, west, north and northeast India were bound to be celebrated at home.

Temples Closed Due to Lockdown

The closure of all temples including small templates and big and popular temples of India across India compelled the entire Hindu community to offer pujas and prayers from their home. Not only in India but also the neighboring country Nepal also restricted the Hindus from offering prayers and pujas at Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu.

Narendra Choudary Tummala Koti Deepostavam

Bhakti TV, the devotional Telugu TV channel of Rachana Television Private Limited, and NTV combinedly organizes Koti Deepothsavam events every year during Kartheeka Masam as per Telugu lunar calendar. In this event, devotees will get a chance to light up one crore lamp in an act to offer puja to Lord Siva. Initially, the founder of NTV, Tummala Narendra Choudary organized Laksha Deepothsavam in 2011 with Bhakti TV. With the grand success of the event, Narendra Choudary started organizing Koti Deepotsavam in 2012.

Every year numerous devotees attend the event, including popular persons such as HH Chinnajeeyar Swamiji, Paripoornananda Swamy, Jaggi Vasu Dev Vaccharata, politicians like Amith Shah, and film stars like Chiranjeevi, Pawan Kalyan, and more. Especially thousands of women participate in the event to offer their prayers to Lord Siva along with several spiritual trainers, pontiffs, and religious heads. The NTV founder Tummala Narendra Choudary stopped organizing this event in an act to restrict the people from mass gatherings and the spread of pandemic coronavirus. We, at Buztak, appreciate his decision to stop the Koti Deepothsavam for the time being to save people’s lives from Corona.
