History of Peetam
The Mukkamala Mahakshetra, or Peetam, has a rich history that dates back to ancient times. It is believed that this sacred site was blessed by the divine presence of Sri Lalitha Tripura Sundari. The Peetam has been a focal point of spirituality and religious activities for centuries, serving as a sanctuary for sages, saints, and devotees seeking divine blessings and spiritual enlightenment.
The Peetam’s significance is rooted in various legends and historical accounts. According to ancient texts, this site was once a flourishing spiritual center where numerous rishis performed penance and various rituals. The presence of powerful deities and the natural beauty of the surroundings made it an ideal place for spiritual pursuits.
However, over time, the Peetam faced neglect and fell into disrepair. The ravages of time and a lack of resources led to the decline of this once-thriving spiritual center. Many of its structures crumbled, and the flow of devotees dwindled.
