This 11th century temple is must see place of visitors as this temple has many striking features. The Kanipakam Vinayaka Devasthanam has the swayam-bhu idol of Lord Vinayaka (Ganesh) and the idol is still growing in size. At present, we can see the knees and the abdomen of the idol
Another striking and strange feature of this temple is that the disputes between people are resolved by taking a ‘special oath’. The people in the dispute take a holy dip in the temple tank and swear before the lord and it is taken as gospel truth.
