Amaranarayana Swamy Temple: The temple of Sri Venkateshwara was established in the form of Amaranarayana, god of eternal life. It is said to have direct connection between the temple of Tirupathi, where Sri Tatayya worshiped both Amaranarayana and Tirupathi Thimmappa at the same time. Once, there was a fire near Thimmappa's foot at Thirupathi, and it was Tatayya who extinguished the fire. The charm of Amaranarayana overtakes that of Thimmappa. Also as per a legend the Amaranarayana idol here was installed by Lord Indra. The story is associated with Indra killing Vritrasura in Satya Yuga. Indra installed Deities of Lord Narayana in five places – Sri Amara Narayana in Kaiwara, Sri Desh Narayana in Budigere, Sri Veera Narayana in Yadokodi, Sri Adi Narayana in Yallodi and Sri Lakshmi Narayana in Gadag.
