According to inscriptions, the temple was built by Sri Krishnadeva Raya, the Vijayanagar Emperor during his regime. The mandir is a fine structure of Vijayanagar Style Architecture. Sri Krishnadeva Rayulu constructed this temple in the memory of his mother Nagala Devi. Hence the temple town is known as Nagalapuram. Prior to this, the village was known as Harigandapuram.
