The Pancharama Kshetras (or the Pancharamas) are five ancient Hindu temples

of Lord Shiva situated in Andhra Pradesh.

The Sivalingas at these temples are made from a single Sivalinga. As per the
legend, this Sivalinga was owned by the demon
king Tarakasura. No one could win over him due to the power of this Sivalinga.
Finally, Lord Kumaraswamy, the son of Lord
Shiva broke the Sivalinga into five pieces and killed Tarakasura. The five pieces
of Sivalinga fell at five different places on
earth namely,
