Story of Sundarnarayan:

It is said that the great devotee of Lord Mahadev, "Jalandhar" was an evil demon living in this place. Due to his great devotion, Mahadev blessed Jalandhar with the boon of immortality. Jalandhar started misusing this blessing and keeps doing his evil deeds and destruction in this area. Unlike Jalandhar, his wife Vrinda Devi was a pious and virtuous wife. By understanding the threat of Jalandhar, other gods reaches to Lord Vishnu for help and urged to save mankind. Lord Vishnu understood that Vrinda Devi was acting like a shield to demon Jalandhar. Lord Vishnu tricked Vrinda Devi by adopted the look of Jalandhar and started living with his wife and killed Jalandhar. When Devi Vrinda understood that she was tricked by Lord Vishnu, she cursed him to turn black and ugly. This curse made him dark. In order to get rid of this curse he had to take a holy dip in River Godavari to regain his original form. After regaining his original form, Lord Vishnu was called Sundarnarayan.

I love to travel, explore places, visit historical places, beaches and everything which I can cover on my bike. I think people must visit at least 10-15 places in a year where they never traveled before. To help people to understand places they may love based on their interest, I decided to blog on total safari.
