సోమేశ్వరాలయం, శ్రీముఖలింగం, శ్రీకాకుళం
World Heritage Day - 18th April.
Someswara Temple (Shiva Temple) @ Srimukhalingam village near Srikakulam. Very ancient temple built in 9th century by Eastern Ganga kings. The architecture is based on Kalinga style.
I believe temples in this village are not maintained by endowments department and the priests are craving for visitors and I could not tolerate the pestering by them for offerings. Looking at the scenario, I had offered additional as compared to my normal wish; but it triggered additional requests which rushed me to walk out early. I also saw very untidy atmosphere near main idol.
Did not get wiki article but wikimap can be seen here . It is about 48 km from Srikakulam Town, Andhra Pradesh, India
