HISTORY :
The Purana edition has it that almighty Siva after having resided at Kashe, Chidambarum, Srisailum and Kedareswarum chose to stay at Vemalawada. History has a record that Vemalawada was governed by succeeding ruler - the Ikshwakas, the Satavahanas and later by the Chalukyas who made it their state capital. The monument on the sanctuary also depicts the traditions of Buddhism and Jainism. A solo characteristic of the sanctuary at Vimulawada is also a home of around four hundred years old mosque within its property. It is assumed as the mosque was constructed as a compliment for a muslim devote. It is said in several myths that Sree Raja Rajeshware Swamy lingum existed in Kreta Yuga, Trita Yuga and Dvapara Yuga. This holy set was visited and worshipped by many saints in the ancient period of the Indian history and received a never finishing significance in this divine pilgrimage. Still the main idol is almighty Shiva at this location (Raja Rajeshware Swamy is the only manifestation), Sree Kodenda Rama Swamy Aalayum, Sree Ananta Padma Swamy Aalayum also have the significance from long period time for many people. Because of that reason this point is also known as Hare Hara Khistram.
