Sthala Puranam says that, Krishna had chosen Chittoor as his favourite land

There was a Namboodiri called Moopil Narayanan Kartha, who was an ardent devotee of Guruvayurappan. He settled down in Guruvayoor so that he could daily worship Guruvayurappan. But, after a few years, his family members requested Moopil Narayanan Kartha to return to his house in

Cheranallore (near Chittoor). But, he was not willing to leave Guruvayur.That night, Shri Krishna came to his dream and said that, wherever Namboodiri goes, Krishna will accompany him in his Umbrella.

Namboodiri thus began his travel and reached Cheranallore Since he was tired

he his Umbrella down and later he couldnt lift it. Namboodiri understood Krishna's presence and decided to construct a temple there and this is where the present Shri Krishna Kshetram is located. Temple is situated in south chitoor near backwaters
