Panchami Theertham
Tiruchanur is the sacred place where Lord Srinivasa did penance for 12 years to get back Padmavati Devi, who always remains in his heart. Sri Mahalakshmi left Vaikuntam angrily with the misdeed of sage Brighu.
Sri Maha Vishnu himself dug the tank. He brought golden lotus flowers and planted them in the tank. The Devi was born on Karthika masa Sukla paksha Panchami tithi, Uttarashada star, Friday from Padma Sarovaram to benefit the devotees. She stayed back in the heart of Lord Srinivasa.
Teertham, Kshetram, and Devata places are called Sacred places. Suka Maharshi did penance in Tiruchanur. The role of Suka Maharshi was cited in Sri Venkatachala Mahatmyam.
