Sri Veda Narayanaswami Temple, Nagalapuram
Sri Veda Narayanaswami Temple is located in Nagalapuram, 70 km south-east of Tirupati. It is believed that Lord Sri Maha Vishnu, in the form of Matsya, killed the rakshasa (demon) Somakudu here, and retrieved the Vedas from the latter.
The sanctum sanctorium houses an image of the Matsya form of Vishnu, with Sridevi and Bhudevi on either side. A peculiar feature of the idol is that it holds the Sudarsana Chakra in prayoga (ready for release)
Interesting fact of this temple is as the Lord here is facing towards west, Sunray’s fall on the Lord during the Sunset (6pm to 6.15pm). Sunray’s fall at the feet on the first day, on the chest on the second day and on forehead on the third day. This happens once in a year, 12th, 13th, 14th days of Phalguna masam(March). Float festival is also conducted.
MIRACLE IN THE TEMPLE TIRTHAM
Recently while cleaning the temple tirtham they found a rare kind of fish in the pond with different colours .Many people came to see this miracle as this is the temple dedicated to mathya avataram .
