Ancient History of Site:

The historical significance of the site of the Bev at Kudachadri Mountain is elucidated in the ancient epics such as Mahabharata, Ramayana and Bhagavat Purana. The incarnation of Lord Rishabadeva had the specific purpose of re-establishing varnashram in this world as a system of governance. The present site on the side of the "Kutakachala" mountain is the exact spot where Lord Rishabadeva left this mortal world in a forest fire.

This Kudachadri mountain is also reputed to be the topmost peak of the mountain carried by mighty Hanuman containing the sanjeevani herbs that revived Sri Ram and Laxman. The Narasimha Purana gives an exacting description in the Sahyadri Mahatmya and hallows this spot as the adored adobe of Lord Vishnu in this world and equates all the water tirtha's with the sacred Ganges River in potencies. The location is non-different from Vaikunta Dhama in this world. Other various descriptions are also elucidated in numerous holy scriptures hallowed by millions. They call the sacred forests surrounding the site as a "siddhi kshetram" where all perfection's can be quickly achieved 1,000's of times faster than when performed in other places. Lord Krishna & Rukmini, Shankacharya, Lord Rama & Laxman, Garuda, Agastya Rishi, Kolla Maharishi, etc. all performed pastimes in this sacred place. The forests that surround the lands are known as the sporting gardens in this mortal world of Ambika, the Divine Mother of the Universe.
