|
The temple here is dedicated to serpent deity Nagaraja. The sanctum is surrounded by mud walls with a simple thatched roof. The prasadam distributed in this temple is only sand scooped out from the sanctum. It is white in colour for xix months and light black for the remaining six months. There are shrines dedicated to Ananthakrishna and Siva. Lord Murga and Devi Durga are enshrined on the prakaram. The garden is known for its Naga flower, believed to be a symbolic representation of Sri Nagaraja. Devotees throng this temple on Sundays and on Asyilysm (Aslesha) star days with offerings of milk.
