Say
Sivalayam, there flashes then across your mind a Sivalangam, the
object of adoration. Its size may vary and colour too differ, but
lingakara remains constant. Rarely the icons of Lord Siva are
installed. Only at a few places, the, archamurtis are seen in
Ardhanareeswara or Nataraja form, but to see him in the form of male
genital is unique. It conception sends thrills and sight springs
surprises. This is what one experiences in the temple at Gudimallam,
situated at a distance of 18 km from Tirupathi, the premier temple
town of interplanetary eminence. APSRTC buses plying from Triupathi
or Kalahasti take the bhatas at all times to this unique shrine.
