In the India state of Andhra Pradesh, Sri Yaganti Uma Maheswara Temple, is a temple of Shiva in the Nandyal district.
It was built to reflect Vaishnavaite traditions.
In the 15th century, King Harihara Bukka Raya of the Sangama Dynasty of the Vijayanagara Empire constructed this temple.
The devotees believe that the size of the Nandi idol in front of the temple is continuously increasing.
The legend goes that while the sage Agastya was performing his penance, crows disturbed him and he cursed that the crows would not be able to enter the place.
Since the crow is the Vahana for Lord Shani, it is believed that Shani cannot enter this place.
The temple is 14 km west of Banaganapalle It only takes 1.5 hours to get to the temple from the Historic site of Belum caves, which is 45 km away.
A feature of this temple is its Pushkarini, a small pond of water on the temple premises.
Water flows into this Pushkarini from the bottom of hill through the mouth of a Nandi (bull). The water is fresh and sweet because it comes from the hills.
A holy bath in Pushkarini is highly beneficial for devotees. They pay tributes to Lord Shiva after taking a bath in Pushkarini.
Agasthya, the sage, worshipped Shiva after bathing in Pushkarini.
