In Amaravathi, Draksharama Temple is in Draksharamam, Kumararama Temple is in Samalkot, and Somarama Temple is in Bhimavaram. The Sri Ksheera Rama Temple is one of the best places to visit in Rajahmundry.

People pray to Lord Shiva here as Ksheera Ramalingeswara Swamy. With its height, the temple tower is one of the largest in Andhra Pradesh. The temple is 120 feet tall and has nine floors. It came into existence during the rule of Chalukya Bheema in the 9th century. 

In the 10th century, a builder named Sri Velupathi made the Prakara. Sri Alladu Reddy built the Gopuram in the 1400s. The Archaeological Department has listed this old building as a protected monument. The temple is worth visiting during the Rajahmundry tour package.

Sri Ksheera Rama Temple History 

The Shiva Linga is quite big and has a unique milky white colour. Upamanyu, the son of the sage Kaushik, is said to have asked Lord Shiva to give him enough milk to perform the practices in the temple. He filled the Ksheera Pushkarini Tank with the mythical blue ocean, famous as Ksheera Sagaram. This place has many names because of this, such as Ksheerarama, Palakollu, and Dugdhapovanam.

The windows on all four sides of the garage let you see the Shiva Lingam inside. Some people think that Lord Vishnu put the Shiva lingam there. Others believe that Lord Sri Rama did the first pooja here. This temple has Sri Chakram, which was put there by Sri Adi Sankaracharya.

Architecture 

The temple's main hall has 72 black stone pillars. Outside the temple, you can also see the Gokarneshwara and Ganapati shrines. The three are arranged from right to left, with Nandi in the middle. The Gosthani River runs through the town of Palakollu and meets the Godavari River at Narsapur. This temple celebrates Mahashivaratri, a significant holiday.
