Temple history
In olden days, devotees used to regularly worship Swayambhu Swami located in a cave atop hill surrounded by a thick forest. Historians say that in 1920, Rajamotilal of Hyderabad initiated the dhoopa-deepa naivedyam for the deity as per Agama Shastra. Later, governments pitched in and have been providing all support for the temple development in view of increasing numbers of visitors day by day. Yadagiri shrine became more popular, as it is believed that devotees get good results after Swamy's darshan
After the formation of separate Telangana state in 2014, CM KCR developed Yadadri shrine by paying special attention. On March 28 last year, the main temple was inaugurated with Maha Kumbha Samprokshan.
