The temple has remained buried for over four hundred years
before it was discovered in the 1980’s decade. It is believed that
Vijayanagara ruler Krishnadevaraya had donated extensively to
this temple.

The location of the temple and its proximity to the Noblemen’s
quarters indicates that the temple might have been used by the
members of the Royal family of Vijayanagara for their private
ceremonies.
