Sthala katha — the traditional account

What follows is the temple’s own traditional account, transmitted through liturgy and local memory. It is recorded here as tradition, not as attested history.

Narayanavanam is remembered as the capital of King Akasaraja, who is said to have given his daughter Padmavati in marriage to Venkateswara here before the god withdrew to Tirumala.
