Brief History of Sri Lakshmimanohara Theertha
Sri Lakshmimanohara Theertha also stayed in Yeramballi near the Brindavan of his guru. With a desire to have look at his guru parampara he visited Mulbagal. On his way to Sri Rangam, he visited Hosur in Tamil Nadu and positioned the Lord Hanuman to grace people.

Later he settled in Odapalli village - the convergence point of river Cauvery and Bhavanisagar. He stayed in that place for more than 38 years worshipping Lord Sri Ramachandra. He made Sri Lakshmipathi Theertha as his heir and was immortalized in Brindavan on Pushya shudha poornima.
