Sri Nookambica Ammavaru, popularly known as Sri Anagha Devi in the ancient days, is one of the Nine Shakti forms. During the reign of Kakatiya kings, the temple was renovated and the worship of the same goddess with the name “Sri Kakatamba” continued by performing daily pujas and Deeparadhanas. Decline of the dynasties resulted in the interruption of the daily pujas and other rituals. Anakapalli town is named after Anagha Devi.
It is believed that Sri Shakti Ammavaru created the whole universe which happened between the new moon day of Palguna Bahula Amavasya and new moon day of April. This period is regarded as the holy period and special rituals and pujas are performed to Sri Nookambica Ammavaru.
