It is believed that Lord Venkateswara first placed his Holy Foot here at Keelapatla and then reached Tirumala. 

The Myth believes that Saint Brughu kicked Lord Vishnu's chest and to eradicate such a sin, the Lord sent him to Earth and had him establish the Lord's idol in 7 different places. Some of these places are 1. Dwaraka Tirupathi, near Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh 2. Kalyana Venkateshwara Swamy, Srinivasa Mangapuram, Andhra Pradesh 3. Konetiraya Swamy, Keelapatla, Andhra Pradesh 4. Diguva Tirupathi, Mulbagal, Karnataka etc.. but all these places were hidden and the saint himself who went into disappearance by his mystical powers was established much before the Lord himself came to the Earth. After Lord's arrival, Brughu came into existence with Agasthya Maharshi, the mystical powers which hid these places were removed and they came into the visible light of the common man. The idols were all under trees. The ruling kings then came forward to build temples around these idols.
