Gudimallam Sri Parasurameswara Temple

Oldest temple known in South India. Trimurti all three of them present at one place. Historic and divine place. Don't miss to watch 25km from tirupaty

Here the Linga is in phallic shape ( which is very different from all the Lingas present) . The Linga date is not sure even in history... They believe that may be from the 1st or 2nd century BC. The linga is 5 ft high . The temple name is actually Parasurameswara Temple

Gudimallam Lingam is an ancient linga in the Parasurameswara Swamy Temple. It is well known because it has a very unique linga that is unmistakably phallic in shape, with a full-length standing figure of Shiva on the front.

Located 40 kms away from Tirupati ,Gudimallam has a divine Siva temple.
This temple dates back to 200BCE build by pallavas and maintained by Archaeological survey of India.
Unique temple has marvellous architecture and takes around two hours to see in detail.
I went along with family members from Tirupati at around 11 AM.
This temple has Brahma Vishnu maheswara in one linga at sanctum which is in a pit. Every sixty years water will come till the level of Brahma and it was last happened in 2005.
At the entrance of main temple there were nine holes by which sunlight enters the main sanctum only on only June 16,17 and 18( Iam not sure of dates but definitely in months of June and July).
There were deities of Surya bhagwan,Kumara swamy apart from Parashurama abhisheka lingam.
From my experience it was an hidden gem from both the aspects of divinity and archaeological marvel.
Linga is very divine and atmosphere is spiritual.
Highly recommended

(Visited in 'Jan 2022) - Om Namah Shivaya!

Historically important, but not so popular as yet - Sri Parasurameswara Swamy temple of Gudimallam (Yerpedu mandal, Chittor district), 20 kms away from Tirupati, under the aegis of ASI possesses perhaps, the oldest extant Shiva-linga still standing in a distinct phallic form, dated c.3rd Century BCE. There are some other shrines on the temple premises. The pradakshina patha too, the styling of the shrine, various idols, few Tamil inscriptions vouche to the temple's antiquity. I have visited the temple early in the morning from Tirupati on an RTC buss which took around 30-40 minutes.

Temple is said to be 2600 years old.
Very well maintained, clean place.
Worth visiting place near Tirupathi.
This Temple have a great History, we were lucky to get a local guide. Guide explained us the history and prominence of this Temple.
Location of this Temple is also very good, with greenery all around.
From Tirupati, we can take the road which goes via Papanaidupeta.
Temple timings are 6 AM till 6 PM.
