It is a must to wear dhoti for gents and indian attire like sari, salwar kameez for ladies to enter the sanctum if you want to go near to the Brindavan or do aarthi on your own.Before entering the sanctum sanctorium of mutt, you are advised to take a bath (or atleast wash your feet) on the banks of Tungabhadra river (or at the tap in front of the mutt). Have the darshan of Manchalamma, the godess who blessed the place for Shri Raghavendra Swamy’s Vrindavanam. Then, you need to enter the sanctum of mutt through the queue complex in front of mutt. If you are lucky enough and there’s no rush for the darshan, you can enter the sanctum directly (ofcourse, you have to bear with queue of smaller length). After the darshan, you can quietly move around the sanctum chanting the stotras of Sri Raghavendra Swamy or simply chant Sri Raghavendraya Namaha.

If you are offering sevas exceeding Rs. 50/-, you are required to assemble in the seva hall on the right side of the sanctum before 8.00 am. Hence you are required to purchase the seva tickets the previous day. Please note that the seva timings might vary or sevas might be cancelled on auspicious days like Rama Navami, Madhva Navami, Aradhana days and on the days of eclipse. Parimala prasadams are unique kind of prasadams prepared and offered to deity in Mantralayam only which are available in the counters outside the sanctum.

Mukha Dwara	Gopura	Tulasi Tree

200yrs ago, Kadapa was under ruling of Navab’s.  One day Kadapa Navab  got a dream in which Sri Lord Anjaneya Swamy  Appeared  and instructed him  by saying “ I m situated in the nearest cannal, every day people are hitting on my back when they are washing the clothes, please help me out “.

The next day  Navab went to the river side of the cannal and instructed guards to search every rock, soon they found  the Vigraha of  Lord Anjaneya  floating on the water, as said in dream, people were using the Vigraha for  washing clothes.

Soon, Navab  constructed temple for the Lord Anjaneya and  handed over to a Madhwa Brahmin  family  from “PADAKANDLA (village) “ to look after the temple. 

Lord Jool Anjaneya	Close Look Jool Anjaneya

Daily Navab was visiting the temple  and surprisingly for him  the  Vigraha appeared to be swinging when Harathi is given out,  i.e the reason   this  Lord Anjaneya  was  called  “Jhool Anjaneya”.  In Hindi  “Jhool” means  swinging.

From then Madhwa Brahmin family of  PADAKANDLA is looking after the temple . Daily Lord Lord Anjaneya offered  POOjas   with  Dhoopa, Deepa and Naivedhya.
