Andhra Pradesh's sacred Maha Shivaratri site: Unique temple with over a thousand Shiva Lingas

Faith is believed to multiply manifold at a unique Shiva temple in Andhra Pradesh’s Prakasam district, where devotees worship not one, but 1,116 Shiva Lingas under a single roof.

Located in Jammulapalem village, the temple is revered by Shiva worshippers who believe that a single chant of Lord Shiva’s name here equals offering prayers to all 1,116 Lingas. Each Linga is installed in the five-faced Pancha-Mukheswara form, symbolising different aspects of Lord Shiva.
