Somarama Temple is one of the sacred Pancharama Kshetras, dedicated to Lord Shiva as Someswara Swamy and revered for its deep spiritual significance. The temple is especially renowned for its unique Shiva Lingam that mysteriously changes color—appearing black in the morning, reddish during the afternoon, and white at night. This phenomenon draws thousands of devotees and spiritual seekers throughout the year.
The temple features a beautifully constructed Gopuram, peaceful inner mandapam, and sacred temple tank, making it an architectural and cultural landmark of Bhimavaram. The surroundings are calm and devotional, providing a soothing atmosphere for meditation and prayer. During Maha Shivaratri, the temple becomes a grand festival hub with special rituals, cultural programs, and massive pilgrim gatherings.
The site is also well-connected and easily accessible, making it one of the most visited temples in West Godavari by locals and tourists alike.
