Sage Agastya was forced to leave Varanasi to make Vindhya proud. Agastya left Kashi with his wife Lopamudra. Vindhyaparvatam on the way noticed the arrival of the sage and prostrated. Agastya reached the Dakshina path, determined to stay till he came again. The pious couple sanctified the holy Godavari region and entered the banks of Krishna river.

Observing the divine radiance coming from a mound, the sage explained to the disciples that this was Subramanya Kshetra and that Bhukti and Mukti are fruitful.

Agastya told his disciples that this is the region and installed the Shivalinga on the hill from which divine radiance emanates. In later times, there was a potter named Virarapu Parvathu near that place. He is a great devotee of Shiva. Swami appeared to him in a dream, told him about his location, and asked him to build a temple and enshrine in it. So he built the temple. He used to make things that Lord Shiva loved out of clay and kept them in the temple. This shrine was called Mohinipuram. Over time it became established as Mopidevi.

In the sanctum sanctorum, snake coils are used for drinking. Shiva Lingam is on this. At the time of Abhishekam and Archana, milk is poured into the hole under this panavattam.
