Bhimeswara Temple Pujas: Draksharamam and Samarlakota

Pujas listed for the Bhimeswara Temple

Two pujas are listed on this page. Both are booked online.

• Rudrabhishekam at Bhimeswara Temple, Draksharamam.
• Kumara Bhimeswara Abhishekam at Kumararama Temple, Samarlakota.

The second puja is at a separate temple, Kumararama at Samarlakota, and not at Draksharamam. Open either puja to read what that booking covers and how video or proof is shared.

The sankalp is taken in your name and gotra.

Bhimeswara and the Pancharama temples

Bhimeswara is a name of Lord Shiva. Bhima means formidable, and Eswara means lord. Abhishekam is another spelling of abhishek, the ritual bathing of the deity.

In Hindu tradition, Draksharamam and Samarlakota are two of the five Pancharama temples of Andhra Pradesh, all dedicated to Lord Shiva. The Samarlakota temple is called Kumararama.

Rudrabhishekam is the bathing of the Shiva Linga while the Rudram, a Vedic hymn to Rudra, is recited. Devotees see it as an act of devotion, and no particular result is promised.

Each puja page states what its booking covers.

How to book a Bhimeswara Temple puja online

1. Choose a puja from the list and open its page.
2. Read what that booking covers and how video or proof is shared.
3. Book online. The priest takes the sankalp in your name and gotra.

Prasad is not sent to your address. The price is shown on each puja page.

If you are unsure of your gotra, ask an elder in the family before you book.

When devotees book Shiva pujas

Mondays are traditionally kept for Lord Shiva. Many families book an abhishek on a Monday or in the month of Shravan. Others book when they cannot travel to the temple. Please check each puja page for booking details before you plan around a day.
