In 1954 one Devine snake came to Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple Lake from Babaji Mattam and took its bath and was going back, and then it was seen by the two farmers. They threw stones at it.
Devine snake killed itself by hitting its head (to the ground). Villagers buried the body of the snake on the bank of a Chavurupalem lake. The two farmers who threw stones lost their eyes. Farmers relaised their mistake and asked the snake to forgive them and they got their eyes back. On the same day night snake came into dream of the villagers and ordered to build a temple.
Next day morning villagers took out the body of the snake and were going as procession in the surrounding four villages. At one place they saw one black (kapila) cow coming out separately from the crowd and went to the lake near Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy temple and took bath in it and it did pradakshinas and started to dig the land there.
Villagers were surprised to see this and thought that place to be apt to construct a temple and brought the body of the snake and they performed the remaining customs. They built a temple there. Earlier it is called as Nageswara Swamy temple. Now temple was under taken by the endowment department of Andhra Pradesh. Temple was renovated and they changed the name as Valli Devasana Sametha Subramanya Swamy.
