Yerramilli Jagga Kavi once wanted to go to Kaasi. On the way he stopped at Ontimavidi. There in his dream Kasi Visweswara appeared and said to him "You don't need to go to Kaasi to see me. I am here in Ontimavidi." So he built a temple there and settled in that village. That is root of all the Yerramillis. In the historically familiar village of Vantimamidi there is an ancient temple of Lord Shiva which is few centuries old. In the year of 1852 Late Sri Yerramilli Venkatachalam garu the mula purushudu of the Yerramilli family who moved to Vantimamidi from Pasarlapudi lanka, had taken over temple responsibility. Since then the temple was being managed by the family elders and conducting Kalyanotsavam non stop even during worst recession time. The first renovation and reconsecration was done under his auspices in 1852.Subsequently in 1956 the Dhwajasthambam was reconsecrated.
