Just beside Tallapaka treasure trove there is a pavilion called ‘Sannidhi Bhashyalu’. There is a granite statue of Sri Ramanuja in this pavilion. Sri Ramanuja in his long life of 120 years (1017 – 1137 A.D) visited Tirumala thrice. In those days, very reluctant to trample the holy hills with his feet, he climbed the seven hills on his knees. It is said that he took rest at a point now known as ‘Mokali Mitta’. In his memory, a temple was constructed here. He has rendered yeomen service to the Lord at Tirumala. Sri Ramnuja streamlined the temple management and handed it over to the posterity. Let us pay tribute to this holy man, whom the Lord treated as his teacher.
