People who have tried to open the temple other than Saturday then they face a lot of problems it seems.

But on Saturday there will be thousands of devotees visiting the temple. By the Sunday morning there will be no one at that place. When sun sets then they close the temple and go. They open the temple on Saturday morning and they perform poojas and abhishekas. The priests and temple staff of those temples reach the temple by Friday night. Devotees believe that in the remaining day’s gods and saints will visit and entertain srihari. No one date to visit the temple in other days except Saturday. In 1657, the mukhamandapam and siva temple was built in this temple. Then srihari agreed for this and he changed to statue form. Then the remaining Gods have decided that Srihari should spare time on Saturday in a week.

Then Agusthya requested Lord srihari to stay forever in malakonda so the sins of the people on earth will go. In the next generation for the blessings of srihari, the saint Agusthya has done deep meditation then the lord srihari appeared in the form of jwala (lighting). Then srimahavishnu with goddess Lakshmi has taken rest on malyadri. Then he placed a mala on the mala konda hill which was given by srimahavishnu. Garukmantha searches some places on the earth then he find mala konda is correct place. So to take rest he gave a mala (Garland made of flowers) to Garukmantha and said him to search a place for him to take rest.
