The presiding deity in this temple is Lord Balaji and is said to be a swayambhu Lord, who self-manifested in this place. The legend has it that in ancient days Jabali Maharshi worshipped and did penance here at a place called Suchi Gutta and was said to have been blessed by Lord Venkateshwara.[citation needed]

The temple here seems to have been in existence since considerable antiquity. It was renovated by Sri Krishnadevaraya, the emperor of Vijayanagara Empire. It is also known as Telangana Chinna Tirupathi. The temple has sub-shrines for Padmavathi Ammavaru, Sri Alamelu Ammavaru, Lord Shiva, Lord Ganesh, Lord Ayyappa, and Lord Hanuman.[citation needed]
