Devara Idol Information Contributed by Sri Chandrashekar Raju
Aradhya Daiva -sri rAma
VAIKUNTA RAMA, VAIKUNTA SEETHA & LAKSHMANA.
The heavenly idols (sculptures) of Vaikunta Rama & Seetha were made by Vishwakarma and were given to Lava & Kusha, sons of Lord Rama, who went to heavenly abode.
Once Akshobhya Theertha, while taking a holy dip, Swami pushkarani in Thirumala hills, got a unique rare saaligraama with eleven openings ( Vadana ) and twenty two chakras called Vishwambhara, on which Lord Srinivasa appeared as a symbol of his affection and grace showered on Akshobhya Theertha. This is being worshipped in Math even today.Similiarly, while Akshobhya Theertha was performing penace in Kudli seeking blessings of Lord Narasimha, Lord offered him two fruits. Out of this two fruits, one was offered by Akshobhya Theertha to the king of Anegundi, who got a son & the other has transferred into saaligrama and is being worshipped in Math even to this date.Jayatheertha also gave Thrailokya Bhushana Theertha, the idol of Lord Jayarama which was given to him by Akshobhya Theertha when he ordained Sanyaasashrama. In this way, Lord Jayarama Came to Kudli Math.

my visit on ೦೧ ಜನವರಿ ೨೦೨೦
I had visited Balagaru Mutt on January 1, 2020 and met a devotee, Sri. Sarvottama Rao. He was kind enough to show me vrundavanas at Balagaru Mutt. There were about 12 vrundavana of madhwa pontiffs of Balagaru Mutt but the identity of Vrundavanas weren't possible except few. Another reason was that due to floods in olden days the records were destroyed.
