"According to legends, three brothers who were deaf, mute and blind tried to dig a well. They felt something. Further, blood started coming out and their disabilities got removed. Villagers find it as a Ganesha idol but fail to locate its end. The deity sits in the well full of water and as per belief, the size of the self manifested idol grows a bit with time. That's how our Ganeshji worshipped as"Varasiddi Vinayaka swami" in the popular Kanipakam temple of Andhra Pradesh."
