Due to the fall of Kakatiya dynasty to the Muslim rulers of Delhi, the temple lost its prominence.

The Kakatiyas negotiated a truce with Allauddin Khilji by offering the diamond in exchange not to be invaded.

In 1950, the temple was renovated by Sri Ganesh Rao Sastri a devi upasaka along with Gujrati businessman Shri Maganlal Sameja.

[4] The exceptional feature of the temple is the 2.7 x 2.7 m2 stone image of Goddess Bhadrakali with fierce looking eyes, and eight arms each carrying various weapons.
