What is the spiritual significance (Sthala Puranam) of Bharadwaja Tirtham (Lo Bhavi)?

Dating back to the Krita Yuga (Krutha Yuga), this sacred site is where Maharishi Bharadwaja established his ashram and performed intense penance. His spiritual energy manifested a natural spring and sacred water body. Every morning, Maharishi Bharadwaja bathed in these holy waters before walking to the main Srikalahasti Vayu Lingam shrine to offer daily prayers to Lord Shiva. Locals call it "Lo Bhavi" (meaning Deep Well/Inside Well) because the water body is set deep inside three hills, appearing like a massive natural well.
