Sri Karinjeshwara temple is so old that it has seen all four yugas. According to Sri Jayashankar Upadhyaya, a priest at the temple, during the Kruta Yuga, Rishi Munis used to perform penance and worship God at this location.
Lord Rama and Sita visited here during the Treta Yuga. The stone known as “Sita Pramana Kallu” serves as proof of this. During the Dwapara Yuga, Lord Sri Krishna and the Pandavas visited this region. Finally, in Kaliyuga, Sri Karinjeshwara has risen atop a hill to bless his devotees.
