special temple that stands upright for the standards of truth.
That is Kanipakam

Kanipakam Sri Varasiddhi Vinayaka Temple of Kanipakam, Chittoor district is a lion's dream for those who lie on oath of truth. Kanipakam,
this glorious place on the bank of river Bahuda is
home to many features. The
presence of Muslims in large numbers is a proof that God is one.
Other religions also
participate in Swami's Brahmotsavam. The history of this temple with so many features is
interesting.
Formerly in a village called Viharapuri,
three blind and deaf
people who were reciters of Dharmacharana were born as deaf and blind. They lived by
cultivating the field enjoying the fruits of karma. At
one stage, the village
was affected by drought. The villagers were in a
situation where they could not even get a sip of water to drink. While
digging in the well, a big stone blocked it,
while trying to remove it, the shovel hit the stone and
blood gushed out from the stone. As soon as the blood
touched the crippled brothers, their disability
was removed. The
villagers came to the place and
dug the well completely. The
water of the coconuts offered by the villagers
flowed on the land, but it means an acre of land.
Since then, the village of Viharapuri
got the name Kaniparakam. In the course of time, it
became Kanipakam.
Devotees believe that if Swami takes an oath in front of them, the devotees believe that if Swami swears in front of them, they will be far away from them. Varasiddhi
Ganesha is
always glorified and shows his
true vows to the devotees and the
surprising thing is that Varasiddhi
Ganesha is constantly growing. This is a
direct proof that the 50 years old silver armor is not
suitable for Swami.
Kanipakam is a Saiva Vaishnava
area and
there is a unique Puranic significance in relation to the related temple structures near the main Ganasadhuni temple Varasiddhi
Vinayaka Swamy Temple
Manikanteswara Varadaraja Veeranjaneya Swamy and
many more upalayas are
also there for Swamy each temple is

Kanipakam Ganapati is a special deity, the worships and abhishekams done to Swami in this area are
special. Lord
Vinayaka likes abhishekam very much.
Devotees believe that participating will remove all the troubles, Kanipakam
goers show
enthusiasm to participate in the abhishekams of Ganapati themselves,
and by touching Kanipakam Ganapayya Aarti to the
eyes, any kind of faults
will be remedied.
Manikanteswara Swamy
Temple is a subsidiary temple to the main temple. It
was built by Chola King Kulottunga Maharaja in the 11th century. There are historical evidences that
this temple was built on the order of Lord Shiva to save the Brahma killing plot. The
idols of the deities that stand out are especially impressive to the devotees.
Inside there is the Maragadambika Ammavari temple where the
pujas for prevention of Sarpadosa are performed.
Vijayadashami celebrations are held annually in the Ammavari temple. The
construction of the temple has been done. There is a story in the Puranas about the
construction of this temple which is opposite to the temple of Ganesh. It is said that the
temple of Lord Varadaraja
was built here on the orders of Lord Mahavishnu for the sarpayaga
dosha
undertaken by Maharaja Janameyaja.
Ganesha has a special relationship with Nari Kelam.
Nari Kelam means coconut. There
is a story in the Puranas about the association of Ganeshayaka with this Narikelam. Ganesha
took the Sudarshana
Chakra from Vishnu's hand. According to
Puranas, Lord Ganapati is created and given, so if
Lord Ganapati is invoked and worshiped with coconut, Lord Ganapati will be satisfied, all
troubles will be removed and peace will be created. They will
be busy. Different types of flowers will be decorated in the
sanctum sanctorum, hall, half mandapam,
special flowers will be decorated for them.

Competition or some obstacle may happen in every task
All obstacles should be overcome means Ganapati should be
worshiped with fire
Worshiping Ganapati in the presence of Swami Because of this, the
evils will be removed and all good things
will come. In Ganapati Purana, there is
Modaka Priya Namah in Sahasranam. Modaka means
dumplings. Hindus,
before doing any auspicious work, offer dumplings to Ganesha. By
doing Modaka Puja of Ganapati in the temple, you will get the blessings of Lord.

all his wishes will be fulfilled.

go on as Nabhuto na Bhavishyati, there is no need to be
surprised that two eyes are not enough to see these ceremonies, but
Ganesha Vrat is solemnly performed in the Ganesha temple,
this mention is also found in the Puranas.
Vrata has been given a special place. It is
practiced by Lord Krishna, Lord Brahma and others. It is practiced by Lord Krishna, the development of children, all
wisdom is removed, especially to
win in court affairs.
This is the proof of the uniqueness of Kanipakam Ganapati Temple. Lord Ganesha, the
glorious God, is known as Lord Ganesh Lakshmi Ganpati in this temple. Those who
worship the Lord will not lack money. A
flower lover is very happy when he is worshiped with flowers, that
is why the temple of Lord Swami is
always busy with flower decorations.
It happens that
Swami takes them in special vehicles
but Ganapati is
specially worshiped by children. Ganapati is
worshiped as the god of education.
Devotees believe that
children's studies will improve if they learn to read at the Ganesha temple. It is auspicious to
do Annaprasana in the temple of Ganesha, which removes blemishes.
Puranas say that it is especially
good if the first birthday is celebrated in Kanipakam. Devotees believe that
Ganpati's blessing in Kanipakam is very good for the devotees.
Therefore, for the newly married
couples to avoid any ups and downs in their lives,
Lord Ganesha's chinta pooja is
performed.
