![]() Kille Venkatramana Swamy Temple was built by Woodyear kings. During the time of Tipu, the Mysore family was still in Srirangapatna. Queen Lakshmammanni, wife of Krishnaraja Wodeyar II was deeply worried about the Woodyear dynasty and its future. Then Lord Venkataramana, the royal deity is said to have appeared in her dream, and directed her that his statue which is in Balamuri should be consecrated in Mysore. By this pious act, her dynasty would get salvation. Queen Lakshmammanni therefore, proceeded to Balamuri without the knowledge of the Sultan and brought the image of Venkataramana. Later she consecrated it in the Kille Venkatramana Swamy Temple and offered continuous worship. This is said to have helped the Wodeyear family and after the fall of Tipu Sultan, the Kingdom was restored to the Wodeyar dynasty. This article is a stub.
