Alampur was an important religious and cultural center under the Badami Chalukya dynasty (6th-8th centuries CE). The nine Nava Brahma temples were built between the 6th and 7th centuries CE by the Chalukya kings, who patronized both Shaivism and Shaktism. The original Jogulamba Temple dates to the Chalukya period but was destroyed during the Delhi Sultanate invasions in the 14th century.
The current Jogulamba Temple was rebuilt in the 18th century by local rulers and is a smaller, simpler structure compared to the original. The Nava Brahma temples survived because they were less prominent targets for iconoclasts. The site was extensively documented by British archaeologists in the 19th century, and the ASI has maintained the temples since the early 20th century. The Jogulamba Temple was renovated in the 1980s with the addition of a new gopuram.
