AMARAVATHI - AMARAMAM

The Temple Complex

The sacred shrine enshrining the white linga of Someswaraswamy, installed in the august presence of Brihaspathi by Devendra lies on the bank of river Krishna. It has four strong high prakaras with four entrances and beautiful towers over them. It is built in the Dravidian architectural style and the sculptural adornments are pleasant to sight and enthral the viewers with its loftiness and superb craftsmanship. The stone cutters' artistry is discernable in the delicate and ornate style of carvings on walls and ceilings. They are best specimens of art deserving careful study and it affords immense delight on understanding the intricacies of construction
