were attracted to the calm and divine feel in this Dandaka forest and thought
to settle down here. As per his daily schedule Maharshi vyas take bath in
nearby river Godavari and in return he brought with him three handful of sand. With his divine powers, he turned the sand in
to three statues of Goddess Laxmi, Saraswathi and Sarada then offered prayers.

Saraswathi here and starts writing the
epic of Ramayana. Valmiki Samadhi

a Karnataka king constructed temple for these three Devi’s and made this
