The temple was later renovated by the Chola and Vijayanagara
kings.
The original name of the temple is Sri Bhooneeladevi sahita Gadidam Prasanna Venkateswara
Temple . It is also known
as Shri Lakshmi Venkataramana
Swamy Temple .
After the Mahabharata period, the temple was forgotten and
the murti remained covered by an anthill. Thousand years later a Chola king had
a dream about the murti and he discovered the murti and installed it. Today the
Prasanna Venkateswara murti is flanked by Goddess Bhudevi and Goddess Nila
Devi.
Nearby the temple flows the Chitravati River
and the Gadidam mountains are to the south of the temple. The huge temple
complex also houses the murits of Saptamatrikas.
