Someswaram Temple History : 

Because of the paintings and sculptures on the walls, this Someswaram Temple appears to be new.

A lotus-covered pond known as Chandrakundam is located in front of the temple, and the temple entrance is guarded by a huge Gopuram. A large hall on the temple’s left side houses temples dedicated to Lord Srirama and Lord Hanuma.

There is an open corridor above the temple office on the right side of the temple. Pujaris/pandits perform puja here for individuals when there is a large crowd. Sculptures abound in the temple. A large statue of Nandi can be found in the temple’s main hall. There is a room in front of the sanctum after crossing the corridor. There is an Annapurna Mata temple in that room.

Lord Shiva appears in the sanctum as a lovely Shivaling. Unlike other Pancharamas, the Shivaling in this temple is thin. This Someswaram Temple has a unique feature: Shivaling’s color changes according to the lunar phase. Shivaling will be white during Pournami (full moon nights) and black during Amavasya days (dark nights).

Another unique aspect is that the Goddess Annapurna temple was constructed on top of the Shiva temple, which is not seen anywhere else in the world. Surprisingly, the Goddess wears a baby around her feet and wears the sacred thread around her waist.
