Singarakonda is known for Sri Prasannanjaneya
Swamy (at Down Hill) and shrines Sri
Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy at one location. According to history, during
King Devarayalu's reign, the Sri Lakshminarasimha Swamy temple on Singarakonda
hill was constructed in the 14th century. Sila Sashan's proof published on the
Garuda Stambham suggests this Singarakonda
Temple was constructed in 1443-44.
Singarakonda Temple History:
Singanna, a Lakshminarasimha
Swamy devotee, lived in a village close to the mountain during the 14th century. His
daughter named Narsamma used to look up the hill with her cows. They noted that
for several days one of the cows did not give milk. Singanna secretly followed
the cow to find out the reason and noted that the cow was going to a rock on
the mountain and was standing.
A kid went out of the rock,
sucking the cow's milk and vanishing. Singanna thought that only as a kid went
his beloved god Sri Lakshminarasimha Swamy and took the cow's milk. With this
faith, Singanna constructed the temple of Sri Lakshminarasimha Swamy on the
hill. People later began to call this mountain Singarakonda.
Around 210 years ago (end of the
17th century), during the inauguration of Dwaja Stambham in the grounds of the
Sri Lakshminarasimha Swamy temple, thousands of devotees observed the
installation and disappearance of Sri Prasannanjaneya Swamy Idol by a Yogai at
the Bhavanasi tank below the Singarakonda mountain. The devotees at
Singarakonda began to pray Sri
Prasannanjaneya Swamy.
There is another powerful conviction that during his journey to Srilanka to search for Sita Devi, Sri
Hanuman stayed a day in Singarakonda. This might be the reason Sri
Prasannanjaneya Swamy's idol faces south, which is a very unusual darshan for
devotees from Singarakonda Hanuman Temple.
