It is said that Vishnumurthy, the master of the Jagannatak, was thrilled by the services of the devotees in the Treta Yuga and left Devaloka first to Ayodhya, then to Srirangan on the banks of the Kaveri river in the south, and then to Andalupuran on the Garudadri. Over time, Andalupuram, Andalapuram, Andolappuranga, that became today's Andol. Built on an area of ​​one and a half acres, this temple was built in the 15th century by King Shauryaraminedu who ruled Kalpaguru. An idol of Ranganathaswamy was brought from Srirangam and enshrined in the temple. Later he shifted his headquarters from Kalpagur to Andol and expanded the kingdom. In the 18th century, Rani Shankaramma, who ruled Andol, further developed this temple. Special features of the temple...
