At Kūrma-kṣetra, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu saw the Deity and offered prayers and obeisances.
Kūrma-sthāna is a well-known place of pilgrimage with a temple of Kūrmadeva. When Śrīla Rāmānujācārya understood that the kūrma-mūrti was a form of Lord Viṣṇu, he instituted very gorgeous worship.
The temple inscriptions describe instructions that gave people devotional service to Lord Viṣṇu. Such service could elevate them to liberation in the spiritual world and to the lotus feet of the Lord.
