The existence of the temple on the hills is associated with the story of Goddess Sri Lakshmi Devi asking Lord Srinivasa to make his presence felt on the hills so the devotees can offer prayers to the Almighty. So to please the Goddess, Lord manifested himself on the Kurupathi Hills.

 

Lord Srinivasa made his presence felt in the seven hills of Kurupathi i.e. Swethadri, Ekadri, Durgadri, Ghanadri, Ballukadri, Patagadri, and at last Daivatadri. Daivatadri is the place where the temple has been constructed. The story of the appearance of the Lord is very much similar to that in Tirumala Tirupathi. This temple was built in 1350 A.D. by Sri Mukkara Chandra Reddy and this temple was further renovated by Sri Ramabhupal and KothaKapulu in 1820.
