Lord Rama was the one who built Lord Shiva’s idol in the sanctuary. The development of the sanctuary was in the hands of the Peddapuram Rajas during the eighteenth century. The shrine’s previous chairman made many contributions to it. Thereafter, a merchant who was also a global businessman also contributed to the shrine, built the current korukonda lakshmi narasimha swamy devasthanam later.
