Obeying Rama's order, Hanuma reaches Kasi and selects a big beautiful white sivalingam.

In his return journey, he stops by at this village to perform his early morning worship to Sun (the so-called sandhyavandanam or suryopasana).

A few farmers while digging this area with an iron bar, found blood coming out from earth.

As they failed in that effort, king realised the mahatyam of the lord, constructed a temple and made arrangements for regular pooja.

Another pancharama kshetram, the Sri Someshwara Janardhana Swamy temple which is in Gunupudi, Bhimavaram, is around 15 kilometers from this place.

Temple organizes laksha bilvarchana (worshipping with one Lakh Bilva leaves) during karthika masam.
