The temple is especially famous for Sri Ambegalu Krishna (Crawling Krishna), an enchanting form of Baby Krishna depicted crawling on His knees with butter.
This beautiful deity is also known as Navaneeta Krishna, the Divine Butter-Loving Child.
Devotees lovingly pray to Ambegalu Krishna for the health, happiness and well-being of children.
The temple has a long history and is an important centre of Vaishnava worship in Karnataka.
A visit to Sri Aprameya Swamy Temple is a beautiful experience of devotion—where the majestic Bhagwan Vishnu and the adorable crawling Bala Krishna bless devotees in the same sacred temple complex.
