Pancharamams (Pancharama kshetras)
When Subramanya killed the demon Tarakasura, the Shivalingam
in his throat broke and fell in five different spots, which became the
Pancharama kshetras.
The foremost of these is Amareswara at Amaravati where
Indra and the Devas are believed to have worshipped Shiva.
The others are Draksharama, Kumararama at Kotipalli,
Bheemarama at Samalkota and Ksheerarama or Palakollu.
Some beliefs refer to Amararama, Draksharama, Somarama
at Bhimavaram, Bhimarama or Kumararama at Samalkota and Ksheerarama
at Palakollu as the five Pancharama Kshetras.
While some even refer to the Chalukya Bhimeswara temple
at Bhimavaram as Bhimarama.
t is believed that the Shivalingam that shattered into
five pieces was a huge one, and the biggest of the five pieces is a
fifteen foot long column of white marble which is worshipped as Amareswara
at the Amaravati temple (this is very similar to the ten feet high Shivalingam
at the Draksharama temple).
Yet another legend links the pancharama kshetras. The
five Shivalingams worshipped at these shrines are said to be a part
of a single Shivalingam said to have been created by Surya or the Sun
God.
This original Shivalingam is said to have been held
in worship by the seven rishis - Kasyapa, Atri, Gowtama, Kousika, Bharadwaja,
Vasishta and Jamadagni. These rishis are believed to be present in the
seven tributaries of Godavari, of which the Bharadwaja, Kousika and
Jamadagni Godavaris are not in existence anymore.
It is believed that the seven rishis brought water
into the Godavari river from their points of origin. It is also believed
that the waters from the seven tributaries constitute the water sources
in the temple tank.
