Dedicated to Lord #Anantha at #Ananthagiri about 75 km from Hyderabad city. Here the Lord is said to have manifested as a #Salagrama Shila who appears in #Trimurthi Swaroopa of #AnanthaNarasimhaSrinivasa. It is said that Sage #Markandeya had performed penance at this place.
Markandeya was a child for whom a choice was made before he was born. His parents had to choose between having a son who would live for a hundred years but would be a fool, or a son who would be a brilliant, shining being but live only for sixteen years.
The parents were wise and they chose the latter, and they bore a brilliant, shining child of enormous capabilities. But as days passed and years rolled by, they were worried for their child and became very tortured as the date of his death came close.
They explained to Markandeya about the boon they had received and the choice they had made. But Markandeya was phenomenally wise and knowledgeable, and he knew the ways of life.
So, when the moment of his death came – when the god of death, Yama, came to claim his life –
