temple
is
the
idol
of
the
Crawling
Krishna
called
as
the
Ambegal
Krishna
.
Its
mesmerizing
eyes
and
with
butter
in
the
hands
elicit
the
maternal
sentiment
in
you.
This
temple
is
also
called
as
the
Navneeta
Temple.
It
is
said
that
huge
offerings
of
silver
cradles
are
done
by
the
childless
devotees
after
getting
blessed
with
a
child
by
the
grace
and
blessings
of
Lord
Krishna.During
celebrations
a
small
replica
of
the
main
idol
is
taken
on
a
chariot
and
there
are
processions
that
take
place.
Thus
with
such
glorious
history
and
extraordinary
architecture
is
a
certain
monument
to
visit.
Sri
Aprameya
swamy
Temple
is
a
very
ancient
structure.
Some
historians
date
it
back
3000
years,
but
local
historic
documents
date
it
not
less
than
1500
years.
There
is
evidence
that
this
temple
existed
even
before
Lord
Ramanuja’
s
Digvijayam
in
Karnataka
and
it
will
not
be
a
surprise
if
it
was
built
much
before
Lord
Ramanuja’
s
Birth.
There
is
a
written
document
preserved
to
date,
which
mentions
the
Kainkaryam
of
lighting
Nanda
Deepam
to
Lord
Aprameya
in
the
year
980.
This
is
a
proof
of
the
temple's
existence
in
that
period.
Legend
has
it
that
Lord
Rama
stayed
here,
in
Dakshina
Ayodhya,
for
many
years
and
during
this
time,
he
worshipped
Lord
Aprameya.
Hence
Lord
Aprameya
is
also
known
as
Sriramaprameya.
Lord
Rama
also
performed
Homams
and
other
rituals
in
this
place
and
even
to
this
day,
there
are
remnants
of
the
structures
where
he
conducted
the
Yagnams.
In
kshetram
Mahatmiyam
Kandam
of
Brahmanda
Purana
there
is
a
description
of
Lord
Aprameya
in
twelve
chapters.
The
specialty
of
the
temple
is
it
is
standing
on
sand
and
not
on
any
solid
foundation.
It
appears
from
the
style
of
construction
of
the
temple,
that
it
was
expanded
during
the
regimes
of
certain
kings
who
ruled
Mallur
in
the
past.
Standing
outside
the
temple,
one
can
see
the
towering
and
beautiful
Raja
Gopuram.
Built
in
the
Dravidian
architectural
style,
one
finds
sculptures
from
the
Dasa
Avataram
adorning
the
side
walls
(Madal)
of
the
Raja
Gopuram.
The
Maha
Dwaram
is
30
feet
high.
Opposite
the
Maha
Dwaram
is
the
tall
Deepa
Sthambam
made
from
a
single
stone,
which
vies
with
the
Maha
Dwaram
in
height,
at
30
feet.
During
Bramhotsavam
days
pilgrims
are
provided
breakfast,
lunch
and
dinner
FREE
of
charge.
