Gangga Negara is believed to be a lost semi-legendary Hindu kingdom mentioned in Sejarah Melayu that covered present-day Beruas, Dinding and Manjung in the state of Perak. Gangga Negara, meaning "a city on the Ganges" in Sanskrit, is believed to be a Hindu-Malay kingdom founded by Hindu traders.

The temple was built on 23 March 1926 by people who came from Tamilnadu, India, for trade in Malaya (Gangga Negara at the time). Initially the temple was identified as "Kumaravell Alayam", where at that time a "Vel" was worshipped by the Indian community.
