He said to her, if you have any thing in your mind tell me, I will do it for you. She said with a smile, ”I got you as husband, that is outstanding for my life, but now there are fewer Divya Kshetras on earth so the devotees can not go there because of expenses. The Devotees are facing problems without God’s Darshan, so please make one Divya Kshetra for our devotees". The God accepted the Mahalakshmi request. The God said to Vanamala to make a wonderful Parvata (Hill) on earth, so that hill Vanamala has changed into Malyadri (Malakonda). There are different kinds of trees, different kinds of birds, and different kinds of animals there. This Malyadri has different shapes of big stones and hills.
