Kapila Theertham
About Kapila Theertham
Located in Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, Kapila Theertham derives its name from Sage Kapila, who performed deep penance at this site seeking Lord Shiva's blessings. According to legend, Lord Shiva manifested as Kapileswara Swamy and blessed the sage with divine knowledge. The temple houses a Swayambhu (self-manifested) Shiva Lingam, considered one of the holiest Shiva shrines in Andhra Pradesh. A distinctive feature is the natural waterfall originating from the Seshachalam hills that flows directly into the temple's holy pond. Devotees believe that bathing in this theertham, particularly during the month of Kartika, cleanses sins and brings inner peace and prosperity. The temple conducts daily rituals including Suprabhatham, Abhishekam, Alankaram, and Archana, along with special weekly sevas such as Rudrabhishekam and Navagraha Puja.
