History & tradition
Sri Varasiddhi Vinayaka Swamy Temple is a temple of Ganesha at Kanipakam in the Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh, about 11 km from Chittoor and 68 km from Tirupati. Its legend tells of three brothers, one mute, one deaf and one blind, who were digging a well for their field. Their tool struck something hard, blood flowed from the spot, and all three were cured; the image of Ganesha was then found in the well.
