==History==<br />
According to [[Skanda Purana]] it is believed the temple is installed by the Rishi [[Markandeya]] in [[Dvapara Yuga]]. Attracted by peaceful atmosphere of [[Ananthagiri hills]] Markandeya Rishi came here for yoga [[sadhana]]. Every day Markandeya used to go to Kasi from Ananthagiri to take a holy bath in the Ganges through a cave due to his yoga sadhana. On one day he was not able to go to Kasi as Dwadasi enter the early hours of the morning. Lord gave [[Darshana]] in dream and arranged the Ganges to flow to perform a holy bath for Rishi.<br />
<br />
Rajarshi [[Muchukunda]] after fighting for yeizamars with [[rakshasas]] and killing [[Kalayavana]] came to Ananthagiri to take rest and went into deep sleep, He got a boon from devandra that who ever spoils the sleep of his can be killed by burning to ashes. [The hills and the cave where Muchukunda rested is also located to Mount [[Girnar]] in the state of [[Gujarat]]<br />
<br />
Kalayavana rakshsa took control of Dwaraka and followed Lord [[Krishna]] and [[Balarama]] to Ananthagiri and spoil the sleep of Muchikunda and was killed. Lord Krishna gave darshana in the form of Sri Anantha Padmanabha Swamy to Muchikunda and blessed him to take a permanent place in the world in the form of river.
