Yaganti Sri Uma Maheswara Swamy Temple is a famous Lord Shiva temple with roots in ancient mythology. It is said that the sage Agastya offered prayers here in ancient times. The current temple structure, including its prominent gopura and outdoor pond, was reconstructed by Harihara Raya and Bukka Raya. Located in Kurnool district near Banaganapalli, the temple is easily accessible by road. It closes at 8 PM and offers basic amenities with reasonably good facilities for overnight stays. Uniquely, you won't find a single crow in or around the temple premises. The spacious pond outside the temple contains relatively clean water suitable for bathing. Inside, there's another small pushkarini (sacred water tank) named after Sage Agastya, with water flowing from a Nandi statue. The inner sanctum houses an incompletely finished idol, a unique combination of Shiva, Parvati, and Vishnu. Another distinctive feature is the Basavanna (Nandi) statue outside the temple, which is said to be growing in size. Legend has it that "when it roars, the Kali Yuga will end," as prophesied by Lord Veera Brahmendra. There are three caves near the temple:
A large cave housing Lord Venkateswara A cave where Lord Veera Brahmendra is said to be in yoga mudra for a certain period,Veera Brahmam Cave This is the cave where saint Sri Madvirat Potuluri Veera Brahmendra swamy wrote some of his Kala Gnaanam (prophecy). The height of the cave is less and one needs to bend half over to enter it. Another cave (details not provided in the original text)
During Masa Shivaratri, the temple performs a unique ritual called Akasha Deepa Darshanam. This temple is worth visiting to enjoy its scenic beauty, making it an excellent destination for a long ride with...
