Legend of the Janardana Temple
A myth associated to Janardana Temple says that Lord Buddha is believed to be an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. And Lord Vishnu is well-known as Lord Janardana. As per common belief, Lord Janandana once fought and defeated the mighty demon Raja Bali in the disguise of a Vamana to protect the people from the wrath of the asuras. The spot thence, came to be known as Janardana Tirtha. Later, a temple was constructed around it which was called Janardana Temple.
