Many
believe
that
Chalukya
Bheema
built
this
temple
in
4th
century.
It
is
believed
that
lord
Chandra
installed
Shivalinga
in
Bhimavaram
and
hence
this
temple
is
called
as
Someshwara
Temple.
In
this
Sanctum
Lord
Shiva
is
in
the
form
of
a
beautiful
Shivaling.
Shivaling
in
this
temple
is
small
unlike
other
Pancharama
Temples.
Specialty
of
this
Shivaling
is
it
will
change
colors
according
to
Lunar
Aspect.
During
Pournami
Shivaling
will
be
in
white
color
and
turns
to
Black
by
Amavasya.
Another
Unique
specialty
of
this
temple
is
Goddess
Annapurna
temple
built
on
top
of
the
Shiva
temple,
which
is
something
which
we
cannot
see
anywhere
in
India
