Somarama, Hindu temple in Bhimavaram, India

The Somarama temple features a large entrance tower, multiple halls containing sculptures, and a lotus-covered pond called Chandrakundam at its front entrance point.

The temple stands as one of the five Pancharama Kshetras, sacred complexes dedicated to Shiva, located in the West Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh state.

The temple maintains regular ceremonies with priests conducting pujas in designated halls, while marriages take place in both the new hall and Annapurna mantapam.

Visitors can access the temple through regular bus and train services to Bhimavaram, with local priests available to explain the significance of different shrine sections.

The central Shiva lingam, known as Someswara, changes color during lunar phases, appearing white on full moon nights and black during new moon periods.
