This Temple was built around 600 years ago by Appalacharya Appanna Iyengar. It was built much before the Mughals invaded India. Though the Presiding Deity here is Lord Godha Ranganatha Swamy it is actually Goddess Godha alias Kodhai who gains more prominance here. There are only two Temples in the whole of India for Goddess Aandal Amma. One is in Srivilliputhur in Tamil Nadu, while this Temple is the second and hence it is called as Uthara Srivilliputhur. Godha Devi here is called as Kodhai in Srivilliputhur. While Aandal Amma is a Swayambu here Sri Ranganatha Swamy is found with a mild limp and some support for his elbow. It is said that while Sri Ranganathar was flying high on his Garuda Vahan He tried to jump off it in His anxiety to meet Aandal and hence got the limp on His Elbow. During the Mughal period in the 15th and 16th century Edulabad was known as Rayapuram. It is strongly believed that any unmarried girls who visit here and offer poojas and bangles to the Goddess Goda Devi will get married very soon.  The main festivals are Brahmothsavam and Shravana Month, Shakaranthi, Ugadhi, Dasara and Diwali which attract enormous number of Devotees here that time.   This Temple is situated near the Lakshminarayana Lake.
