Sri Venkateswara Mahatyam Story

The film begins with the advent of Kaliyuga. The earth faces threats of all sorts. To reduce it, [[Saptharishis]], helmed by [[Kashyapa]], perform a Yagna when [[Narada]] arrives and asks who the patron deity of the sacrifice is. Since they cannot answer, [[Bhrigu]] moves to test Trimurthi. After [[Shiva]] and [[Brahma]] become the victims of his curse, he approaches [[Vaikuntha]] when [[Vishnu]] and [[Lakshmi]] are immersed in love and ignore him. So, furious, Bhrigu kicks Vishnu in the chest. To pacify the sage, Vishnu holds his legs and presses the eye in his foot to symbolize his egotism when the sage seeks to apologize. With a shattered ego, Lakshmi quits when Vishnu is behind her, first steps on the earth at [[Tirumala]], and settles in an anthill without food and water. Taking pity, Brahma and Siva assume the forms of a cow and calf to serve him. Lakshmi sells them to the King, and they feed him. Meanwhile, the cow does not yield milk at the palace, so the queen chastises the cowherd Sarabha. So, he follows it secretly, discovers the cause, and flings his axe. Here, Vishnu rises after receiving the blow and curses Sarabha to be a ghost until he is formed as a deity at that place. After that, Vishnu lands at his ardent devotee Vakala’s Ashram; she calls him Srinivasa and provides hospitality. Once, Srinivasa chases a wild elephant into a garden, where he meets Padmavati, daughter of Aakasa Raju, and the two crush. After hesitation, Aakasa Raju and his wife, Dharani Devi, accept the proposal. For its expenses, Srinivasa debts from Kubera and says they will repay only the interest till the end of Kaliyuga. Narada briefs Lakshmi about the wedlock, and fuming, she confronts Vishnu. Then, a clash between his two consorts leads Srinivasa to become a statue. Following, Padmavathi comes to his side, and Vakula Devi as a garland. The entire universe is blissful for launching a deity to protect the earth.

Generations pass by, and Bhavaji, an ardent devotee, arrives and calls Balaji. However, temple authorities hinder his entrance. From there, the Lord visits him every night to spend time playing dice. One day, Balaji loses his ornament in the bet when the public spot opens doors and accuses Bhavaji of theft. The King arrives to conduct an interrogation, and Bhavaji explains the truth. Hence, the King tests his spirituality by keeping him in a prison full of sugarcane and asks him to eat before dawn. At this point, the Lord appears as an elephant and finishes it within moments. In the morning, the people are astounded to see the miracle. Since then, he has been eminent as [[Hathiram Bhavaji]], and the King endorses his temple authority. At last, generations pass, and the number of devotees to the temple increases. Finally, the movie ends by showing ”[[Srivari Brahmotsavam]].”
