Siddheswaraswamy Temple




Siddheswaraswamy Temple is located at Tallapaka village in Cuddapah District. The presiding deities are Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. Usually, in the temples of Lord Shiva, Lord Nandiswara (the Bull, Shiva's vehicle) is found facing Lord Shiva in front of the temple; but, here it is seen outside the temple. The idol of Lord Shiva in the form of Veerabhadraswamy is also seen here.

During the month of Krithika (November), the rays of sun enter the sanctum sanctorum of the temple through a hole in the in the side wall. Married women pray for the longevity of their husbands and give offerings to the Lord during this period.
