Sathyagala Kote Varadaraja Sri Vedanta Desika Kollegala Tourism Karnataka Tourism, Karnataka Temple.
The Varadaraja Swamy temple famous for its Vedanta Desikars Standing Statue is said to be built during the Ganga times. This temple had reached a state of ruins and later in 1994 due to the intervension of famous Swamys, restoration work was taken up along with daily pooja. The Kurma asana on which Vedanta Desika did Tapas for 13 long years is preserved inside this temple. The actual place where Desikar did tapas is also well maintained, although he tree fell during the rain.
Sathyagala is a prominent place as it is believed that the installation of the Anjaneya by Desikar after continuous 13 years tapas helped restore the Srirangam to its previous grandeur.
Currently Bhramotsava has been restarted in Kote Varadaraja Swamy temple.
