==History==
Swamy Ramanuja arrived in Karnataka where the local tribals received him in this place. The local people who were averse to Swamy Ramanuja conspired a plan to do away with him. Swamy Ramanuja learning their evil intentions ordered Mudaliandan Swamy to place his feet in the drinking water pond in that area now called Saligrama. At Saligrama, by partaking this Sripada theertham, the minds of the evildoers changed and they fell at Swamy Ramanuja lotus feet seeking forgiveness. Such was the greatness of our Mudaliandan Swamy.

When persecuted by the Chola king Kulottunga, [[Ramanujacharya]] is said to have fled the Chola country and first stayed at Vahnipushkarini (the place now known as '[[Mirle]]') from where he moved on to Saligrama.

==Etymology==

Swamy Ramanuja named this place as "'''Saligramam'''" which is near Melkote. Even today this pond is maintained by the archakas who ensures that no intruder pollutes the pond by locking the gate. There is a small temple opposite to this pond in which Swamy Ramanuja's Thiruvadi chuvadugal are worshipped. There is also a deity of Swamy Ramanuja in Sesharoopa near the garbagriha.
