Note: Importance of yadhavagiri (Adoni-AdavAni) xEthra

 

1. The history of adoni dates back to Ramayana Period. Mountains

surround Adoni. Shri Rama during His vanavasa visited this place and on one

occasion Rakshasas come to disturb Shri Rama who would be resting on one of

the mountains. Understanding this, Shri Anjaneya fights with them & kills

them. Hence this place is aptly called ‘raNa mandala’.

2. Knowing this, Shri Vyasa Thirtha during his visit to Adoni installed the

deity of Shri MukhyaprANa on the hillock and he is now popularly known as

‘raNa mandala AnjanEya’

3. Shri Vyasa Thirtha installed another MukhyaprANa deity closer to the hill

and he is called mangarAya. The place is called MangarAyakOte.

4. Mangarayakote is the place where Shri Gopala Dasaru was bestowed

‘Ankitha’ by Shri Vijaya Dasaru.

5. Shri Vijaya Dasaru stayed at Adoni for almost 8 to 10 years before moving

to Chippagiri.

6. Shri Vijaya Dasaru installed the deity of Shri MukhyaprANa at Adoni.

7. In the same vicinity, Shri Vijaya Dasaru sowed Ashwaththa vRuxa that

stands tall even to date.

8. Later Shri Raghu Prema Thirtharu installed the brundhavanam of Shri

Raghavendra Thirtharu in the same vicinity.

9. Shri PanganAma Thimmannadasaru (Also known as Shri Venugopala Dasaru -

was called Panganama by Shri Gopala Dasaru since he was the incarnation of

Shri Vaikunta Dasaru who was a Shrivaishnavite by birth) belongs to Adoni.

He was bestowed ‘Ankitha’ by Shri Vijaya Dasaru as ‘Shri Venugopala ViTala’

at Adoni.

10. Diwan Venkanna (Disciple of Shri Raghavendra Thirtharu) belongs to

Adoni.

11. Shri Raghu Prema ThirTharu installed the deities of “Shri Sita Rama

MukhyaprANa Laxmana” at Adoni and later in the same premises entered

brundavanam.
