The temple is located 1.30 acre of land just about 1 km from Bikarnakatte from the road that leads to Shaktinagar through Kandettu. It is believed that rulers belonging to the Ballal family established the Vaidyanatha god here about 700 years ago. Subsequently Shree Vaidyanatha, greatly pleased by the devotion of a local Brahmin devotee, Keshava Bhatta came and stayed at his place in Kodikanda as their Kula Deva. The same house is still the Bhandara of the temple where the sacred treasures are kept. There is also another “Bandothu Guttu” belonging to bunts family where the Daivas are treasured.
It is said that the Ballal kings used to organize annual poojas and conduct religious ceremonies at the temple with the help of important Gutthu families of surrounding areas. Once the Ballal rule came to an end the annual ceremonies also saw a decline and finally stopped completely. It is now believed that in mid 1920’s devotees and their families were repeatedly afflicted with some serious ailments and the locals renovated the temple and conducted poojas and with that started the annual celebrations which over the years have become an annual affair.
On the advice of the then District Commissioner a new Managing Committee namely “Shree Vaidyanatha Kshethrabhivridhi Trust (R) was formed in 1999 to oversee developmental work related to the temple. The responsibility of the reconstruction has been carried out by the same trust which has formed many committees to oversee the work of renovation.The renovation and reconstruction of Shree Vaidyanatha Daivasthana, Kodange Mura of Padavu grama in Shaktinagar is getting completed and Punarpratishta Brahmakalashotsava and Annual Bandi Nemothsava which is celebrated with gaiety and reverence will be held from 21st April 2001.
