History
The temple was built at some point between the 9th to 12th centuries. The temple reflects Dravidian architecture with carved pillars and sculptures.[1] The temple is dedicated to Virabhadra, a form of Shiva.[2]
In 2019, the temple was submerged for 15 days due to the Krishna river flooding.[3] In 2020, access to the temple was controlled by temperature checks and social distancing due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]
