Surrounded by green fields, besides the sacred Krishna canal and the panoramic view of Lord Trikooteswara’s temple on the hill, Chinmayaranyam –Trikoota is located. The hill range is called as 'Trikoota' having three peaks named after the Trinity; Brahma konda (peak), Vishnu konda and Rudra konda. Lord Siva did penance here as Dakshina Murthy and so mother Uma Devi became part and parcel of His body as Medha Devi, the power of intelligence. Here the Lord is also called as Koteswara Swami showering His blessings on devotees as Wish-yielding Tree. Many pundits, yogis, Vedantins and the common folk, all types worship Lord and by His grace they get whatever they wished for.
The Lord Trikooteswara Bhagavan’s glory is especially witnessed during ‘Siva Ratri’ festival with countless “illuminating Prabhas” brought from different places, echoing with His name called out loudly by the devotees while doing Giri Pradakshina (going round the hill) along with cattle. Reverberating with sacred Mantras from pundits during poojas, abhishekams the whole atmosphere is filled with divinity filling the hearts of people with inexplicable peace and sanctity.
