Shri
Peda Amiram Tirth
Mulnayak: Nearly 118 cms
high, black-colored idol of Bhagawan Vimalnath in the Padmasana posture.
Tirth: It is in the center
of the Peda Amiram village. The nearest railway station of Bhimavaram is at a distance of
4 kilometers. Bus service and private vehicles are available. Board and lodging provisions
are adequate.
Historicity: This is a renovated temple and the antiquity of the idol
cannot be guessed. Its artistry reveals that it is more than a thousand years old. While
digging the land, this idol was found from the hollow of the ground, nearly 85 years ago.
Not knowing the importance of the idol, the villagers kept it in dirty place. As a result,
there was a great agony in the village. When the villagers realized their mistake, they
installed the idol at a proper place. Then the atmosphere of peace spread over the
village. Even today this idol is regarded to be miraculous. This idol was installed in the
new temple under inspiration of Munishri Nandavijayji on the auspicious eighth day of the
month of Magh in the year 2021 of the Vikram era. On the fifteenth day of the bright half
of the month of Chaitra, a fair is held here every year.
