History

This temple, a specimen of the Vijayanagara style, was built by Krishna Deva Raya at the behest of his mother. He visited this place before marching north to conquer Gajapati Kings in present Orissa and on his return, he camped here after worshipping in Tirupati before going to Kumbakonam for the Maha Makam as per records unearthed in the temple. The Place was renamed as Nagalamma Puram in memory of his mother Nagamba and later became Nagalapuram.
