There are inscriptions of different
dynasties found in the temple. Hiuen Tsang, the Chinese traveller
visited this temple. Thousands of devotees from various parts of the
state and city visit the temple especially during Dussera festival in
the month of September/October.
The nine days of Navarathri (in the
month of September-October) is celebrated with great pomp. The goddess
is decorated in nine different forms on each day- Balatripura Sundari,
Gayathri, Annapoorna, Maha Lakshmi, Saraswathi, Lalitha Tripura Sundari,
Durga Devi, Mahishasuramardini and Raja Rajeshwari Devi. On Vijaya
Dasami day, the tenth day, the deities are taken in a swan-shaped boat,
beautifully illuminated and decorated with flowers, around the Krishna
River. This event is popularly known as "Theppotsavam".
