SAMALKOTA - KUMARARAMAM

This holy kshetra is variously called, like Bhimaramakshetra, and Kumararama kshetra. Both have legends and are justified. It is one of the Pancharamas that brought undying fame to our Bharat and Andhra Pradesh in particular. Its plus points are many and the Sivalilas enacted here- are numerous, besides the seat of Amrit linga. As this came under the rule of famous Chalukya kings, it was called Chalukya Bhimavaram and hence the name Bhimaraanakshetra. This sacred archamurti is popularly called Samalkota Bhimeswara and the royal patronage it received is quite enormous and it peeps at the visitors and elevates them.
