Venkateswara Temple, Tirumala – Ramakrishna Theertham
Ramakrishna Theertham is one of the popular Theertham in Tirumala. The best time for visiting this place is during the rainy season, this place looks even more beautiful with greenery around and with white water gushing out of the rocks.
Legends
It is believed that a person named Krishna excavated/ dug a pool, where a Ramakrishna sage meditated for centuries and an ant hill grew around him. For testing his concentration, Lord Indra sent down thunderstorm and lightening but he failed to dislodge the sage who did not budge. Ant hill was broken when lord Sri Srinivasa appeared before him and blessed with the promise that whoever bathes in here on full moon would be released/ cleanse of all sins.
Prayers
Bathing in this water is really refreshing and is said to wash away the evils and confer good fortune.
Connectivity
The Theertham is situated at about 5 Kms from Tirumala Venkateshwara Swamy Temple. Pilgrims should trek deep into Seshachala forest area to reach this place.
