"Ryali" in local Telugu language means falling. According to the Srimad-Bhagavatam when the Demigods and Rakshas were quarreling over sharing of holy divine nectar, seeing this, Lord Krishna came in the guise of Mohini-Murti avatar to the rescue of demigods and convinced both the rivalry groups promising to distribute the divine nectar in equal share to Demigods and Rakshas.
