History of Edupayala durgamma Temple

Here this river of seven rivulets meet at apoint.from top of this river there is a way to the temple in the den there is durgamma idol.that’s the reason it known as Edupayala durgamma. With hundreds of devotees pitching up their makeshift tents around the Edupayala Vana Durga Bhavani temple here the stage is set for a three day festivity known as Edupayala Jatara in the Telangana and bordering Karnataka regions. The festival begins on the day of Sivaratri and is followed by Bandi Utsavam on Monday where hundreds of decorated bullock carts from 32 villages go around the temple and concludes on Tuesday with the Rathotsavam. It is estimated that more than 5 lakh people would visit the temple during these three days. According to the legend Nagsanpalli is the place where King Janamejeya offered the "Sarpayagam" to finish of the race of snakes. However, the snakes invoked the spirit of Ganga to flush the Sar payagam. It is believed that Ganga arrived here and split into seven rivulets touching the feet of Goddess Bhavani giving the name of Edupayala. The seven rivulets -- Vasishta, Jamadagni, Viswamitra, Goutami, Bharadwaja, Atreya and Kasyapasa -- begin their journey from the Ghanpur project and meet again just behind the sanctum sanctorum. With fairly good rainfall this year, 0.3 TMC of Manjira water has been released to Ghanpur project so that the pilgrims take their customary bath in the rivulets in front of the temple. Fifty professional divers have been kept ready to help the devotees taking bath in the rapids. The road abutting the Ghanpur project has been improved with barricades on both the sides.
