  Temple History:
     
 

There was a Siddha living in this region running a school to teach Vedas to students.  He made an idol of Lord Dakshinamurthy, the origin of Vedas.  Traditionally, Lord Dakshinamurthy is seen facing South.  Rarely, He is facing North, thus making this place more sacred as Vada Guru Sthalam –North Jupiter Land.  The installation of the deity is on the basis of Jupiter facing north among the nine planets.
