TRISAKTIPEETHAM

This tallest Sivalinga was installed by Devendra under the guidance of Brihaspathi the Devaguru, so the place is called Amaravathi and the archamurti - Amareswaraswamy. There are several niches in and around garbha griha for many mini gods and goddesses. And in every yuga it demonstrated some miracle or the other that cemented peoples' faith in the Lord who is granting liberal boons on the adorers. There is a belief that whoever dies here is assured of Siva sayujya mukti, and the bhaktas-who worship the Lord after bathing in the Krishna waters go to Siva loka. It is called Dhakshana Kasi for the main reason that it liberates people who adore the Lord soulfully as Kasi does in the North. This is deemed as a famous Triputi for embodying the triple aspects like Daivam - Amareswaraswamy Kshetram - Counchaparvatham and Thirtham- river Krishna. It was a renowned capital called then by the name of Dhanyakataka. The abundant sculptural inscriptional and literary wealth reveals its splendid past that has no equals to it, to speak the truth. For Sivaloka Prapti and Punarjanmarahitya take a trip and get boons.
