[1] The temple that belongs to the Maagane that comprises Nandikooru (Adve, Ulluru, Kolachuru), Kalathuru, Kutyaru, Padooru, Belapu and Kunjoor, has a rich history of over 1,000 years.The temple has been renovated and inaugurated in grand functions lasting from 4 March 2009 to 12 March 2009.

[2] Devotees here pay their respect to Vishweshwara by offering tender coconut Abhishekham, lit oil lamps and gold coins (pawan).

The story goes that Ullaya got pleased with the penance observed by a devotee who belonged to the Kunda Hegde family and as result he descended from Kashi to Yelluru.

Vishveshwara is believed to have emerged from underground respecting the devotion of a Samanta Raja of Kuthyar Dynasty.

The linga of Shiva thus emerged and was first understood to have been found by a Koraga mother while she was collecting firewood and leaves in the forest where her son "Yellu" was buried after his untimely death.
