As long as the heirs of the Shankaraya family were in existence, arrangements were made for the eternal worship and festival in the temple. In 1970, viswanathaswamy also consecrated the temple. After that the temple was taken over by the Hindu Charities Department. This Shiva temple may have been in big temple at one time. Now the temple is in dilapidated condition.
