The temple houses the goddess Nookambika. The King who ruled this area - Sri Kakarlapudi Appala Raju Payakarao, built this temple to Kakatambika, a family goddess. She would later be called Nookambika or Nookalamma. On "Kottha Amavasya", a day before Ugadi, thousands of people from throughout Andhra Pradesh come to the temple for worship.[1]
