Pradesh
Parasurameswarar Temple is a Hindu Temple dedicated to
Lord Shiva located at Gudimallam Village near holy town of Tirupati in Andhra
Pradesh, India. Presiding Deity is called as Parasurameswarar and Mother is
called as Anandha Valli. This Temple is
one of the five ancient Shiva Temples on the bank of Swarnamukhi River. The
Temple has the unique distinction of being worshipped continuously through the
centuries. The original Temple was an open air one but subsequently,
architectural work had been done around the main Temple by the Pallavas, Banas,
Cholas and Rayas according to the inscriptions found on the Temple walls.
The main importance of the temple lies in the Linga which is housed in the Garbhagriha of the temple and considered unique for its
naturalistic depiction. This is supposed to be the earliest Linga
discovered so far and it has been assigned to the 3rd century BCE. The name of
the temple is mentioned as Parasurameswara Temple in the inscriptions. The
Temple is under the custody of the Archaeological Survey of India and is being
maintained beautifully.
