History 

The story of this place says that after a monk cursed Lord Brahma and took away his powers, he did penance for Lord Shiva. People think that Lord Shiva came in nine different forms, which is why there are nine temples to honor each form. In the main building of the Bala Brahma building, the Shiva linga looks like a bull's footprint.

Jogulamba Temple is one of the 18 Maha Shakti Peethas of Goddess Shakti and is very old. This is the fifth Shakti Peetha, which stands for the upper teeth part of Goddess Shakti. The first temple of Jogulamba was destroyed in 2005, and a new one was built in its place. Goddess statues were in the Bala Brahmeswara temple for 600 years.

What is Alampur famous for?

People think of Alampur as the western entrance to Srisailam. The temple has a Badami Chalukyan design in this beautiful temple and the remains of an older temple. A lot of South Indian families ruled over the area.

The temple took too much space by the Jogulamba and Bala Brahma temples, making it hard to protect the city's shrines. They were also being used for religious ceremonies.
