It is believed Jaganmatha (Universal Mother goddess) Sri Mavullamma ammavaru (Mother goddess) is the incarnation of Mahakali (the goddess of Shakthi-Power) in olden days. she is in a midst of mango groves. So she is called 'Mavullamma' (Mamidi is local tongue to Mango). It is believed that neighbour villagers treated her as their own villages mother goddess, So she is addressed as 'Mavullamma' (Mother goddess of my own village).
The temple history of Jaganmatha Sri Mavullamma came to limelight in the year 1880 AD, Since then only the temple history is available to us. It is believed that she is laid in Motupallivari street, under couple of pipal and Neem tree.

One saying states that the goddess had emerged at Rayakuduru village near Veeravasaram. But according to the local people beliefs the history of Sri Sri Mavullamma Goddess is as follows.
It is said that the goddess had emerged during the period of 1200 A.D. But as per the temple point, the history is available only from the period of 1880 A.D. In Bhimavaram a place presently called as Motupalli Veedhi is 
said to be the place where the goddess had emerged. Sri Mavullamma ammavaru emerged in a place where Neem and Peepal (vepa) trees were together.
As the goddess had emerged in this place and as this place is rich for mango trees the Goddess had been named “MAMILLA AMMA” and later on during the days it had converted into “Sri MAVULLAMMA”. Another saying about the name is that as there are many small villages nearby Bhimavaram and they used to come to Bhimavaram to pray the Goddess as their Grama Devata the name “MAA VULLAMMA” had been incarnated.
