History of the Sri Rajarajeshwari Temple:

In the precincts of the temple there is a Dargah, which shows an ample evidence for religious tolerance. According to Bhavishyothara Purana, the Sun God recovered from disability by praying at the shrine and this temple is termed as “Bhaskara Kshethram”. God Indra – the King of Astadikpalaka purified himself from Brahmahatya Dosham by worshipping Lord Sri Raja Rajeshwara Swamy.

During 750 to 973 AD, the temple was built by Raja Narendra, the grandson of Parikshit. Raja Narendra killed Muniputra accidentally and afflicted by virtue, he cured his leprosy by taking bath in Dharmagundam. One day Raja Narendra saw Lord Sri Raja Rajeshwara and Lord Sri Raja Rajeshwari in his vision and received blessings with the directions to build a temple and install the Shiva Lingam which was laying in the bed of the Pushkarni.
