The history of the temple is said to be dated back 50years ago, formed during early 70's by MAHE academy when there was no proper transportation facilities during that time to travel Udupi to seek blessings of Lord Krishna,they decided to build a temple here of Lord Krishna.However they wanted students of every religions to gather. Hence they planned to build a Dome-like structure which represents the architecture of the mosque,Spire a tall pillar like structure representing Christians and a hindu god.As per the source the idol was actually bought from Mangalore and worshipped by a person named Venugopal who hails from Mangalore hindu family hence his name was kept for charity made. Gradually other shrines of Hanuman, ganapati were built later.In 90s Puttaparthi Sai baba inaugurated the Navagraha.Later on park was built as an attraction for devotees to rest there and have peaceful time.
