In fact, my great grandfather, Sri Vinjamuri Bhavanachariar provided the funds for repairing and re-building the steps leading to the ancient temple. I have never visited this sannidhi, but my parents had the opportunity to do so during their most recent visit to India. It is said that receiving this pAnakam prasadam is a great blessing, for it has been known to cure illnesses. Perhaps, one of the other bhAgavathas hailing from Andhra, such as Sri Vinjamuri Mahavishnu, or my relation and good friend, Sri Sarangapani Kidambi, can elaborate further on the temple and its sthala purAnam. adiyEn, Mohan
