It is among the few temples of Saraswati in Telangana. It is maintained by the Kanchi Shanker Mutt. Construction of the temple complex was due to the efforts of Yayavaram Chandrashekhara Sharma, a scholar and adherent of Goddess Saraswati.

Main Deity
This temple is located on a hillock near Wargal village. On the same hillock are the temples of various other deities, such as:
a few Vaishnava temples, now completely damaged and without mola vigrahas
Many families visit the temple for their children's akshara abyasam ("learning ceremony"). Meals are provided for free to all devotees at the temple premises, a practice referred to as nitya annadanam.
