The history of Bharadwaja Theertham is deeply rooted in Hindu mythology. It is believed that Sage Bharadwaja performed penance here, and the pond is said to have been created by him. The water body is regarded as a 'theertham' or a sacred water source, which is often mentioned in ancient texts and scriptures. Over centuries, it has become an integral part of the pilgrimage to Srikalahasti, with devotees believing that a dip in its waters washes away sins and brings blessings. The site has been maintained and revered by the local community for generations, preserving its historical and religious significance.
