The mythological story related to this Panch Madhav Kshetras goes like this.
Twashta was one of the Prajapatis created by Lord Brahma. He had one son named Vishwarupa. Vishwarupa was very noble and was jitendriya. He once started doing great tapa. Indra became afraid that Vishwarupa might take his kingdom so resorted to all kind of tricks to destroy and disturb his tapsya but all in vain. Then Indra chopped Vishwarupa’s head with his vajrayudha. Indra also lured Taksha to help him in chopping heads of vishwarupa.Vishwarupa is said to have three heads.

                                                               Sri Sapta Naga

                                                    Sthala Vruksha -- Athi Tree


On hearing the sad end of his beloved son Twashta got enraged and started homa to creat a massive Asura from his krodhagni. Twashta named him viratasura and ordered him to defeat Indra to avenge the death of his elder brother.Viratasura defeated Indra but later on the treacherous Indra befriended him and killed him . Thus Indra acquired the sin of Brahmahatya ,which is considered to be worst kind of sin. To absolve himself of this great sin Indra consecrated these Panch Madhava temples .

So it is believed that a pilgrimage to these Panch Madhava Kshetras has a power to absolve one off all one’s sins.Sans any fanfare the simple quiet premises, heartfelt discussions with pujaris and other pilgrims.

My experience feels that one should visit all Five ( 5 ) Pancha Madhava temples and among them Veni Madhava temple left me positively energized.To me this temple represented the philosophy that the exterior, our body is perishable while the inner substance, the soul is immortal. The quintessence of our being lies in soul not the body.

Please Visit this Temple and get Blessings from the Lord Sri Bindu Madhava Swamy and Godesses Sreedevi and Bhoodevi .
