Sri Maha Kameswari Devi is Kuladevatha for many Brahmin families. Sri Kameswari Devi wished to make Chowdantivalasa village Her residence and has blessed Akundi (Akondi) families as their Kuladevatha since then
Sri Kameswari Devi Koluvu is like a Yagna. Hundreds of years back, Akundi (Akondi) ancestors of this village who performed Koluvu in their homes would first go to temple to pray to Sri Kameswari Devi and then invite Her to their homes where entire Koluvu was performed ritualistically. Koluvu starts with a ceremonial procession to the temple from Koluvu Mandapam. Walking admist nature with heart full of devotion, before sunrise with sacred Kalasam in hand along with Ullabham/ Chatram echoed by traditional nadaswaram music is a blissful experience in life. After due pooja, the deity / Kuladevatha is invited in a prescribed procedure to come to the Koluvu Mandapam to shower Her blessings. The devotees return in the same ceremonial procession to Mandapam. This ritualistic tradition has been followed by ancestors until today. To preserve this sacred sampradayam and to carry forward this to future generations, Sri Kameswari Devi Koluvu Mandapam was constructed by Sri Akundi Narayana Murty garu in year 2000.
As a Divine Will, the Pooja mandiram of Koluvu Mandapam has come up in the same place where Sri Maha Kameswari Peetham was first installed hundreds of years before by Akundi (Akondi) forefathers (the initial migrants from their ancestral home temple in Konnaseema) and worshiped for generations
At any cost, Kuladevatha Koluvu which is a lengthy ritualistic process is NOT to be performed at the temple itself. With migration of new generation of Akundi families on employment from village and falling down of ancestral houses due to lack of maintenance, Sri Kameswari Devi Koluvu Mandapam "The sacred Moola Peetham" was built and given for exclusive use for devotees Free of charge.
