Puranic Significance

The people of the locality started the restoration of this temple in 1988 but couldn’t complete it due to a lack of resources. Even today they worship the feet of the Deity BalaSubrahmanya which is the only remains after the idols were cut off to pieces by invading forces. UgraNarasimha Charitable Trust has taken to complete the restoration of this ancient temple. But still, this temple is in ruins.
