About Kusumanchi Sivalayam:
Kusumanchi Sri Ganapeshwaralayam Shivalayam was built by Lord Ganapati during the Kakatiya period in the 11th-12th century AD during the construction of thousands of Shiva temples. The Shiva temple in Kusumanchi is a witness to the piety and artistic excellence of the Kakatiyas. Yeshivalayam is also known as Ganapeshwara Temple and Ramalingeshwara Swamy Temple. The Shiva Lingam in this temple is known as one of the largest Shiva Lingams in South India. This temple was built north of Kusumanchi in the Khammam district. It is being spread that the construction of the temple was done by a sculptor without arms and legs. The honor of stacking this temple with big stones went to that sculptor.
Shiva Lingam in Shiva Temple: It is remarkable that the temple is built on top of the stones piled up like a star shape when viewed from above and a Shiva linga shape on the other side. The Shivalingam in the temple is 6 feet high. With a radius of 5.3 cm, it resembles a smooth granite stone. Another feature is that the temple is built so that the rays of the sunshine are on the Shiva Lingam every day at sunrise.
