The Kamakshi Devi Sametha Siddheswara Swamy temple, originally built by the later Cholas in the 10th century CE and further developed by the Telugu Cholas, holds great historical as well as mythological significance
The building is being resurrected by the State government by restoring the windows, stucco work, flooring, ceiling and undoing the damage where steel-rods were drilled into the walls to fix bullet-proof doors and windows
