Religious Significance

The name Puttakonda means an “ant hill”. It attained the status of a devotional palce and piligrimage center due to Sri Lakshmi Narasimha perumal temple. According to the history of Sri Lakshmi Narasimha perumal temple. It was once a small hillock by the side of which a small rivulet of river Godavari flows. Lord Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy along with his consort Sri Lakshmi Devi adoring the place as their adobe with the intension of blessing devotees. Once a serpent chanced to see the Lord and began to worship the Lord with great devotion. So the Village aptly earned the name Puttakonda.

Sage Vaalmiki, on his visits to holy places happened to come to this holy place. He began to worship the Lord for a long time with steadfast devotion. He made preparation for the installations of the idol without disturbing the mound of soil, made by the ‘Serpent King’. That is the reason why the feet of the Lord could not be seen by His devotees. There is enough evidence to prove this fact as we see small hole on the mound that are still visible. Having accomplished his mission sage Vaalmiki left this place.

History

The temple was constructed in 400 years back by Zamindars of Peddapuram.
