	Srimad Bhagavatham considered the last work of Sage Veda Vyasa speeks volumes of the gracious deeds of Lord Krishna. It begins with His stealing butter. He ate sand while an infant. Knowing this when Mother Yasodha came to threaten Him with a stick and asked Him to open the mouth. Child Lord opened His mouth only to show His Mother how the whole world with all its beings, trees, hills and rivers are contained in Him. Thus He granted His Vishwarupa darshan to Mother. The temple is understood to have been built about 800 years ago by a Vishnu devotee residing in Iranial. Sri Krishna Jayanthi is grandly celebrated in the temple each year drawing huge crowd. They also throng the temple on new moon days and on Saturdays in the month of Purattasi-September-October.
