Shrine’s History
During the Rama and Ravana war, Lakshmana will get hurt and lies unconscious from Meganadh serpent arrows. To bring Laxman back to conscious, Jambavan asked Hanuman to bring rare medical herbs, Sanjeevini, Vishalyakarini, Suvarnakarini, and Sandhani from Himalaya mountains. While on his mission, Anjaneya took the break to perform Sandhya Vandhanam at the bank of Kumudavathi. After finishing his prayers he began to leap again into the air. The Sages who were living on the banks of Kumudavathi requested Him to stay back. Anjaneya replied them that he is Rama’s mission and should start immediately. Vellala in Telugu means Have to go, so the village got the name Vellala.
