The most ancient Shiva lingam known to mankind is standing at the crossroads. Sri Parasurameshwara temple, located in Gudimallam, a hamlet 13 km from Renigunta junction in Chittoor district in southern Andhra Pradesh, has a 2,200-year old history as the longest continuously worshipped Shiva temple in the world. Its fascinating past and equally gripping present have culminated in a classic confrontation between modern values and ancient traditions.


apperantley this is where Parusuram' worhisped Eashwar, hense called Parasurameshwar (parasuramamrin Esahwar), similar to Rameshwaram

has any one been to this temple in Andra Pradesh?
