Draksharamam or Daksharamam is one of the five Pancharama Kshetras that are sacred to the Hindu God Shiva and also 12th of Ashtadasha Shakthi Peetams. The temple is located in Draksharamam town of Konaseema district in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. Inscriptions in the temple reveal that it was built between the 9th and 10th centuries CE by the Eastern Chalukyan king, Bhima. The big Mandapam of the temple was built by Ganga Mahadevi, daughter-in-law of Eastern Ganga Dynasty king Narasingha Deva I of Odisha as per litterateur, epigraphist and historian Satyanarayana Raj guru's research. Architecturally and sculpturally, the temple reflects a blend of Eastern Chalukyan and Chola styles.The temple is historically prominent and believed to have been constructed earlier to the Bhimeswaraswamy temple in Samarlakota that was built between 892 C.E. and 922 C.E.
