Yaganti- Growing Nandi Idol

Tweet

hi mylot friends, I like to visit Yaganti near Kurnool town of Andhra pradesh, Growing Nandi The devotees believe that the Nandi idol in front of the temple is continuously increasing its size. Its heard from the locals that the idol was initially very smaller than its present size. They say that certain experimentation was carried on this idol and it was said that the type of rock out of which the idol is carved has that growing or enlarging nature associated with it. As per Archaeological Survey of India the rock grows at the rate of 1 inch per 20 years (10 mm per 8 years). It is said that people used to do Pradakshinas(Rounds) around it in the past. Already the temple staff has removed one pillar as the size of Nandi has increased. According to Potuluri Veera Brahmam, the Basavanna(stone nandi) of Yaganti will come alive and shout when kaliyuga ends. Note:i have tried 30 minuts to copy and upload the photo of increasing nandi,but i could not copy it and i could not find the Nandi figure any where except in one site
