Trikotadrai

There are three different ways to climb up the hill. One of the most fascinating aspect of the hill is that from all angles one could see only three peaks and, therefore, it is called "Trikoota Hills" and the God seated therein is famous as Trikoteswara Swamy.

These three peaks are known as Brahma, Vishnu and Rudra. Anent to the legend, Lord Siva after destroying "Daksha Yagnam" pacified and converted himself into a 12 years old boy and with a great deal of austerity commenced penance as Dakshana Murthy in Kailasam. 

Then, Lord Brahma and other Gods appraoched and offered prayers to Dakshana Murthy and entreated him to impart the knowledge of "Brahma". Dakshana Murthy accordingly agreed and asked them to come to Trikoota hills where he imparted them the knowledge of "Brahma" making these hills very sacred.

Gods on the three peaks are known by different names 

  1. Brahma Sikaramu (Trikoteswarudu) 
  2. Rudra Sikaramu(Papa Koteswarudu) 
  3. Vishnu Sikaramu (PapaVishnu Saneswarudu).
