A new spiritual figure, known as Devudu Baba, has drawn significant attention in Ainavilli Mandal of Konaseema district. Bhaskar Rao of S. Moolapolam is being revered as a divine presence, attracting large numbers of devotees seeking blessings and future predictions.
Devotees believe Devudu Baba is an incarnation of Lord Venkateswara and claim that his predictions come true. Darshan is permitted only on Saturdays, with 108 tokens each issued for men and women. From 8 a.m., devotees are allowed to meet him briefly in the sanctum, where he provides prasadam and shares future insights. On Sundays, while darshan is available, future predictions are not given.
The spiritual practice traces back over 50 years to the historic Narayana Kshetram in the same village, where Devudu Baba has long guided devotees. Annadanam (free meal service) is regularly offered to those visiting the temple.
