Sri Mahalingeshwarar Shiva is a very significant religious temple. Lord Mahalingeshwarar is considered to be a very powerful god; hence the state of Assdhi Bhairava is strategically placed before it, in order to absorb the high power which is quite intense in nature. The procedure for worship is to first worship Lord Shiva through the hole that is designed to see the Lord, and then worship Lord Bhairava and then worship Lord Shiva, again. The temple is also unique in the sense that starting from the day of Shivratri, the sun's rays fall directly inside the sanctum for continuous 30 days. In the morning hours, the rays fall directly on the idol of Lord Shiva and in the evenings, they fall on Lord Bhairava. This attracts many tourists to the temple.There are other idols in the temple that are known as the Ambica's. They symbolize Icha Shakti and Gnanashalti. Worshipping the lords and performing certain rituals can help achieve Kriyashakti.
