Sri Vadirajaru's Gaya section includes Vishnu/Gadadhara-Vishnupada and the Phalgu sacred geography. They are consolidated as one Gaya Kshetra entry for practical pilgrimage use. The reference is retained here in the sequence of Sri Vadirajaru's pilgrimage so that a pilgrim can connect the present-day sacred place with the Kshetra or Tirtha praised in the Tirtha Prabandha.
Sthala Purana: Gaya tradition centres on Gayasura, Sri Vishnu's sacred footprint and the Phalgu, with the Kshetra especially important for ancestral rites. The place continues to be approached as a sacred destination in its regional pilgrimage tradition. The present guide therefore focuses on the principal deity, tirtha or sacred feature that a pilgrim can identify and visit today, without treating later local traditions as though every detail were stated by Sri Vadirajaru.
Places to See in the Kshetra: Vishnupad Temple, Phalgu River, principal Pitru-tirthas, Akshayavat area.
Temple Timings Morning: 6:00 AM – 12:00 PM & Evening: 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM
