Bhimavaram
Travel Information
How
to reach :
Located 107 Kms from Vijayawada & 270 Kms from Visakhapatanam.
Bhimavaram is famous for the Gunupudi Someswara temple, which is
considered to be one of the holy Pancharamas. Built during the 3rd
century A.D., the Shivalinga in the temple is believed to assume
a black-cum-brown colour on no-moon day and a kind of white on full-moon
day.
Another unique feature here, is that the temple of Goddess Annapurna
was built on top of the Shiva temple, something that cannot be seen
anywhere in the country. Surprisingly, the Goddess has the sacred
thread around her neck and a baby near her feet.
Other places in Bhimavaram that are of interest to tourists are
the Jain temple at Peda Amiram and Mavullamma (Goddess Shakti) temple.
