History

Ramchander, hereditary trustee of the temple, said, “ The history of the temple can be dated back to the time when the British Army was in control of the Cantonment. A small temple existed there at that time. The efforts for building a new temple was initiated in the early sixties by Sree Jayalakshmi Amma Garu. Construction of the temple was initially opposed by Cantonment officials. Later as a gesture of respect towards the faith, the officials agreed to the construction of the temple. The first Naga Panchami was celebrated in the temple in 1967 and the first phase of construction was completed in 1970. The temple is now a landmark in Secunderabad Cantonment area and attracts a large number of devotees from far and wide.

Another legend is British official directing his men to demolish Nagamma Temple, since causing obstacle to his regular way. Nagamma Temple is being demolished in the presence of British official on one Friday. Significantly on the very following Friday the British official, his horse and pet dog were dead before the temple. At the age of 7 years Sree Jayalakshmi Amma Garu had first darshan of Goddess Naga Devatha and scared at the sight.
