Srila Prabhupada stayed in Nellore from January 3rd to 8th. During the visit, Srila Prabhupada met many of the important leaders of the town and Rebala Sujathamma volunteered to donate the land for the temple construction. He inaugurated the new temple and the cornerstone was laid for the new temple. But the donation of land was with many conditions. so, Prabhupada decided to withdraw from the project.

In January 2006, HH Sukadeva Swami Maharaj with some devotees started building the temple in Nellore and started preaching activities like house programs, Nagara Sankirtan, Book Distribution. The Construction was completed in 2008.
