Sri Nettikanti Anjaneya Swamy Temple - Kasapuram


Sri Nettikanti Anjaneya swami temple is located in Kasapuram village, Guntakal Mandal, Anantapur District. This Temple was built during the 15th Century.

Nettikanti Anjaneya Swamy is the main deity of this temple.

 

The Idol sees South with his face directed towards East so he is also known as Poorvabhimukhi. The Lord looks as if he is ready to rescue and that is evident by his “Abhayahasta”. He wears “Kaupeena”.

 

On his left hand, his Abhayahasta is placed firmly on his waist. In his right hand, he has a club that he uses to simultaneously crush various Idols that are evil spirits.

 

The Lord is projected in an inimitable style and measures 10 feet in height.

 

As Anjaneya Swamy sees his devotees with his right eye, this place got its name as "Nettikanti". Sri Nettikanti Anjaneya Swamy Temple is facing in the East direction. This temple has 5 tier Rajagopuram and Dwaja Stambham is placed inside the Gopuram.

 

During the rule of Sri Krishna Devaraya, Emperor of Vijayanagaram Kingdom, his Guru Sri Vyasarayaluvaru went traveling to get religious austerities. On his tour, he stayed at “Silpagiri” village (Presently known as “Chippagiri”). Lord Sri Anjaneya Swamy came before Sri Vyasaraya in his dream. He advised him to reinstall his idol at the same spot where the withered Margosa (Neem) tree would have fresh new leaves when he touches the tree. Accordingly, Sri Vyasarayalu Varu reinstalled or made prathista the idol of Sri Anjaneya Swamy (Swayambhu) in Nettikallu at the spot where he saw the withered Margosa tree that had emerged as a live tree. The newly reinstalled deity was named “Nettikanti Anjaneya Swamy”. Thus, Sri Nettikanti Anjaneya Swamy Temle, Kasapuram temple was made.
