TIRUMALA MAP FOR GUIDE
Where is Rayadurgam and where is Tarigonda, these places are far apart. The Ramanayanims migrating to the present place for grazing cattle, and settling here; Ramanayanim’s wife who was churning curds finding the salagrama in it; Lakshmi Narasimha appearing during a dream to a landlord and instructing him to dig out His idol from the world and build a temple for him; finding a treasure at the time of digging at the location helped in completion of the temple during a perfect manner alongside a stepped well; a village coming to be established by the name of Tarigonda; and therefore the God coming to be referred to as Tarigonda Lakshmi Narasimha! These are about the God’s sport.
Another will of God is that the birth of the wise one Tarigonda Vengamamba during this village. It's difficult to mention whether she became famous due to the God’s blessing or whether the God became documented due to her reputation. Both might be quite possible. The Kanala family came from Kurnool district and settled here. Vengamamba was born to the couple Krishnayya and Mangamma within the Kanala family like an incarnation of Mirabai. Devotion co-born together with her. She was engrossed therein devotion. Her parents thought that getting her married would cure her of this madness. They brought a person called Injeti Venkatachalapathi from Naraguntapalem of Chittoor and married her to him. But by then her heart was fixed on Tirumala Venkatachalapathi.
She told her husband whose name was also Venkatachalapathi about her devotion to the God of Tirumala. It had been fateful that he should die, and she or he continued to travel about with all the marks of a wife. The townsfolk were enraged. They appealed to the top of Pushpagiri Pitham who was passing through the town. Vengamamba visited him and asked him to face aside so as to form obeisance at the Pitham. As she prostrated before it, the Pitham went up in flames. So, trying to find the last time at the burnt Pitham the pontiff went away, glad to be left off.
In Madanapalli, Kanala Krishnayya sought the protection of Rupavataram Subrahmanya guru and prayed to him for setting his daughter’s life right. The guru took pity on Vengamamba and taught her the secrets of mantra, tantra, yantra, and yogasutras. He told her these were but the foundations on which she herself should build the edifice of her devotion. The Hayagriva and Nrisimha mantras set the goal for her. She also began to write down a kavya. Vengamamba began her spiritual practices. She found an area behind God Anjaneya in Tarigonda.

Vengamamba went away to the Tumbura tirtham deep within the forest. There she did penance for twelve years during a cave; it's referred to as Tarigonda Vengamamba Devi; Vengamamba returned to Tirumala endowed with great powers as an excellent yogini. Perceiving her divinity the Tallapaka family gave her a house which had a courtyard. The Tarigonda Vengamamba matha came to be established thus. An annadana satram was also started.
She grew a garden by the side of Varaha Swami temple. Her samadhi lies there therein garden. additionally to the present garden there was another garden and fruit orchard which was there by the side of Ammoru bavi i.е., the well of the Goddess. Vengamamba received about thirty-five donations. She used to worship every day and she celebrated Nrisimha Jayanti during a grand manner.
She used to please the god together with her verses, songs, plays, and particularly her yakshaganas-ballets. She also used to offer garlands of delicate flowers and offer five sorts of food and milk-cooked sweetened rice to the deity. That's why Vengamamba is accorded an area of permanent honour of offering Mutyala harati in Ekanta seva of the God. This honour is enjoyed by the descendants of her family.
Vengamamba used to have eight paid scribes called ashta ghantakas. They used to record her writings, preserve them on palm leaves, and propagate all of them over the region. Vengamamba’s compositions are about eighteen in number. Both the gods Lakshmi Narasimha and God of Tirumala appear synonymously in each of those compositions. Similarly, she respected both Injeti Venkatachalapathi and Tiumala Venkatachalapathi within the same manner. However much is written about her compositions remains inadequate.
