==History==
According to legend,<ref>[http://vizianagaram.ap.nic.in/Tourism.htm Vizianagaram tourism] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070717012501/http://vizianagaram.ap.nic.in/Tourism.htm |date=2007-07-17 }}</ref> the [[Pandava]]s of [[Mahabharata]] fame concealed their weapons on a "Jammi" tree (''Shami Vruksha '') before embarking on the final year of their fourteen years of banishment into the forests during which period they have to remain incognito (Agnathavasam). During their stay, King [[Yudhishthira|Dharmaraja]] and his mother [[Kunthi Devi]] sanctified the idols of Sri Tripurantaka Swamy and Sri Janardhana Swamy, at this place. About five hundred years ago the local people unearthed an idol of Sri Madhava Swamy while quarrying for sandstone on the nearby rocky knoll. They installed it in between the earlier two temples and built a third temple named after Sri Venugopalaswamy (another name of Lord [[Krishna]]). The twin Jammi trees at the Tripurtantaka Swamy temple are considered to be holy and have miraculous healing properties. The temple is in existence at least for a thousand years as per the stone inscription on site. Modern day [[geologist]]s have estimated that the Shivalinga extends more than 179 feet deep into the earth. No wonder it is called a "Swayambhu Linga". Pilgrims from the north coastal districts of [[Andhra Pradesh]] come here during the holy month of ''Karthik'' for the ritual ''Pujas''.
