Renganathaswamy Temple Nellore
Talpagiri Sri Ranganatha Swamy Temple or Sri Ranganthaswami Temple or Ranganayakulu Temple was built on the banks of the Pennar River in Nellore, Andhrapradesh. In this temple, Lord Rangantha Swamy is seen lying on Anantha sesha in sleeping or resting position. This temple is one of the oldest temples in Nellore town. Brahmotsavam and Ratha yatra are the festivals celebrated in a grand manner.
According to legend, Lord Maha Vishnua wanted to visit Bhooloka with his wife, the goddess Sridevi, so he asked Adisesha to be the place of his residence during his stay in Bhooloka. By obeying his master's order, Adisesha took the form of a mountain at this place. Therefore, the place was named "Talpagiri Kshetram".
