Konetirayala Swamy Temple is also called as Venkateswara Temple. It is believed that Lord Venkateswara first positioned his Holy Foot here at Keelapatla and then reached Tirumala. The legend trusts that Saint Brughu kicked Lord Vishnu’s chest and to eliminate such a sin, the Lord sent him to Earth and had him establish the Lord’s statue in seven different places.
These places were concealed and the saint himself who went into vanishing by his spiritual powers, were recognized much before the Lord himself came to the Earth. After Lords arrival, Brughu came into survival with Agasthya Maharshi, the spiritual powers which hide these places were detached and they came into visible light of the common man.
