History & significance

One of the eighteen maha shakti pithas, sharing its compound with the Navabrahma temples on the Tungabhadra. The seventh-century original was destroyed in 1390 during Bahmani raids; the shrine was rebuilt in 2005 and the old image reinstalled, and the site was later taken into the government's PRASAD pilgrimage scheme.

Sthala katha — the legend

The place is held to be where the upper teeth of Sati fell after Daksha's sacrifice.
