There is a belief that incurable
diseases will be cured and the evil spirits will be driven out and all desires
will be fulfilled by the Lord if one stays in Mattapalli for 11 days and 11
nights and performs 32 pradakshinams thrice a day with wet clothes having
bathed in the Krishna river each time.
Another important feature is the
possession of a rare type of conch by the temple called Dakshina Vriththa
Sankha. It is said that if one keeps it near his ear, a booming sound of the
sacred Pranava also called Taaram, echoes out of it. This type of conch is
present only at the Kasi temple and nowhere else.
"Ekameva Kshetram,
Mattapalli Kshetram, Na Anyat Kshetram, Mattapalli Tulyam, Ekameva Tatvam,
Mattapalli Naatham, na Anyat Tatvam, Palli Simha Tulyam"
which means "Mattapalli is
the only pilgrim spot.
There is no secondary whatsoever
and there is no equal to it.
There is only one Lord and He is
the Lord of Mattapalli.
There no secondary whosoever and
none is comparable to him."
