 Ramanujapuram 
Presently known as Macherenahalli
Srinivasa Perumal Temple

This is 3 Kms from Kurunegere . This is township
established by our Udayavar when he was doing Digvijayam of Karnataka. The
Vigraham of Lord Srinivasa was done Prathistai by Ramanuja himself. Main
person instru mental
in
setting
up this township was Ananthalvan who was doing Pushpa Kainkaryam to
Lord Srinivasar as per instruction of of Bhagavath Ramanuja. The Moorthy
is very small and cute. First as you enter the village you will find a
kalyani which is similar to Melkote one. Then on the Banks you will kind
our VayuPutran. It is beautiful moorthy. Then you walk 200 Meters you
will reach the Srinivasa perumal koil of Ramanujapuram. Then Main Gopuram
which was majestically standing once upoun a time is there ( Now it is in
ruins [ Pic is the testimony] Then next to it a madapilli (
But now only a stone slab which was used to mix
Ogre( I mean Pulliogere etc) is there. Then we
enter
the
Temple
On the left side you will find our beloved Nam Alwar and besides him our
Lord Ramanuja is there. then You will find our Sweet cute Srinivasar is
there, There is no Thayar Sannidhi since he is having his Thayar in the
Vrashasthalam. In two upper hand he is holding Shanku and Chakra , then
there is Abhaya hastham and Kati hastham. It is said During Dhannur masa
every
year the Malai mariyadai comes from Thirupathi due to Ananthalvan
and Bhagavath Ramanuja The tradition is continuing till now , but due to
bad shape of temple and due to financial constrains the Ustavam is stopped
and i am sure with the support of Government and and generous Sri
Vaishnava's throughout the world . It is said previously
200 Brahmin family used to live, a well planned township was there with
well connected Water Supply system. every house used to connected by two
canals for water supply. One canal was madi / Acharam ( for cooking and
Pooja etc) water and and one used to be regular
water. All the family have migrated to greener
pasture and they have forgotten their roots , one of the famous Food
industries owner is from this village. It is high time they do something
for their village. God is great there is one Brahmin family in village and
he is the Aradhakar of the temple who is 84 years and very young at heart.
He is Sri K V Narayana Iyengar. Due to him perumal is getting his Pooja
done .
