Arrival at Draksharamam Temple. Bhimeswara Temple, located in East Godavari District is also known as “Dakshina Kasi”. This place along with Sreesailam and Kaleswara constitute the three sacred Shivalingams of the State, hence it got the name “Trilinga Desa”. According to the legend, the idol of Lord Shiva present in the form of Siva linga at this temple was enshrined by the god Surya. It is believed that angels built this temple in one night and the work was unfinished at the sunrise in the early hours. Because of that, the perimeter wall still remains incomplete. This temple is considered a shaktipeetha.
