Origin & Story

Kirtana of Bhadrachala Ramadasa in raga Varali, Adi tala (Telugu, 17th century CE) · Bhadrachala Ramadasa (Kancherla Gopanna) · c. 1620-1688 CE

Gopanna, tahsildar of Bhadrachalam, used the revenue he collected to raise a great temple to Rama on the Bhadra hill, earning both the name 'Ramadasa' and a prison cell in Golconda. His kirtanas made Bhadrachalam the Ayodhya of the south. In this song he stands where every pilgrim stands — on the banks of the Gautami, looking up at the gopurams he built — and cries out the darshan for all to share: 'There is Bhadradri! Behold!'

✦ As told in scripture

When the Golconda Sultan imprisoned Ramadasa for spending state revenue on the temple, tradition says Rama and Lakshmana themselves came by night as two young servants, Ramoji and Lakshmoji, and paid the ransom in gold coins stamped with Rama's own mark — coins still shown at Bhadrachalam. The Lord 'who openly protected Ramadasa' in this song is that very rescuer.

'There it is — Bhadradri!' Bhadradri is the sacred hill of Bhadrachalam on the Godavari (the Gautami), where Lord Rama is enshrined with Sita and Lakshmana.

Bhadrachala Ramadasa (Kancherla Gopanna, c. 1620-1688 CE), the saint who built the Bhadrachalam temple and composed hundreds of Telugu kirtanas on Rama.

Ramadasa sings that in the age of Kali the shrine 'shines as Vaikuntha upon the earth' — the Lord, with Sita and Lakshmana, dwells there visibly for all who come.

On pilgrimage to Bhadrachalam, at Sri Rama Navami celebrations, and in bhajan sessions — traditionally as the song of first darshan of the temple hill.
