History
The temple is about four centuries old and is credited to the Nanganur (Vanamamalai) Prathama Peetham of Sri Vaishnavas. Local tradition holds that Kalyana Vanamamalai Ramanuja Jeeyar, head of the peetham, stayed here, giving the locality the name Jeeyarguda, later Jiyaguda. In Qutb Shahi times the surrounding area was the trading settlement of Karwan. Worship originally followed the Thenkalai tradition and later the Vanamamalai sampradayam. The temple is now administered by the Telangana Endowments Department.
