Udayagiri, which houses a fort, a mammoth hill, mosque and many temples built by Krishna Deva Raya of the Vijayanagara Empire fame, is located 12 KM away from this place.
The formation of the village – Therani, a temple for the personal deity – “ Vaikuntanatha Swamy “ and associated grants of land and material effects, were enunciated in a HukumNama ( royal order ) from the Adil Shahi dynasty – through Shri KrishnaDevaRaya’s royal kingdom and his subordinate KarvetiNagaram Raja.
Though this temple's significance has diminished due to the hugely popular neighboring Temples in Tirumala and Tiruchanoor, it received very good patronage from the Kings of Vijayanagara in the 13th thru 16th centuries, especially Saluva Narasimha Deva Raya, and the eternally famous Sri Krishna Deva Raya, and some of the later rulers like Venkatapathi Raya, and Aliya Ramaraya, sri Krishna Deva Raya's Son-in-law.
