Siddhi Bhairavesara Swamy Temple - Ramapuram

Siddhi Bhairavesara Swamy Temple is a famous Shiva temple at Ramapuram Village very close to Somidevipalli Railway Station.

The temple is located just 20 km away from Giddaluru/Giddalur town in Prakasam District, Andhra Pradesh. Maharishi Jamadagni (one among 7 great Saptarishis) who is best known for his forgiveness, cool and calm temperament was once lived at the famous Kanaka Surabheswara temple.

Sri Parashurama Devaru, son of Jamadagni Maharishi killed Kartavirya Arjuna in compliance to the advice of his father. The local sadhus who are staying at that sacred place during that time left Kanaka Surabheswara temple and moved to nearby place called Avulakonda. They were very much attracted by the beauty and Greenery of the surrounding hills. They established Shiva Lingam to perform Tapassu [Meditation], daily pujas, rituals and to finally attain Moksha [liberation].

Henceforth, the temple got its name as Siddhi Bhairavesara Swamy Temple. People from different religions come to this holy place to worship Lord Bhairavesara Swamy [Shiva] and to pray god to fulfill their wishes and desires. Pilgrims can take bath at the newly renovated Konera at the entrance of the steps. It is a perfect recreation place as well with waterfalls and other small surrounding temples.

Collect some water from the Jaladhara falling at the back of Shiva Lingama at Garbha gruha and pour it on Lord Mahadev with great devotion chanting the holy words "Om Namah Shivaya".
