Yaganti Caves

 

 

 

 

Yaganti is located in the Kurnool District in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India. The Yaganti caves are found in close proximity to the famous Sri Yaganti Uma Maheswara Temple and it consists of three main parts –

 

  • Agastya Cave
  • Venkateswara Cave
  • Veera Brahmam cave

 

 

 

 

 

a.   Agastya Cave

 

This is the cave where Agastya performed his penance for Lord Shiva. One can enter the cave by climbing 120 steep steps. An idol to Devi is installed and may be worshipped here.

 

 

 

 

b.    Venkateswara Cave

 

The damaged idol of Lord Venkateswara is present in this cave. Compared to Agastya cave it is easy to climb though the steps are steep. According to the story this idol was present in this cave before the Tirumala Venkateswara Temple was constructed. But as the idol is damaged near the foot, it could not be worshipped. Veera Brahmam tells us in his Kala Gynanam that this place can stand as an alternative to Tirupati. This temple has very beautiful scenic locations nearby.

 

 

 

 

 

c.   Veera Brahmam Cave

 

This is the cave where Saint Sree 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.
