Kaleshwaram is one of the most sought after spot for holy
dip during Godavari Pushkaram . The popular belief is that Kaleshwaram is
the Triveni Sangamam or the meeting point of Pranahita River, Godavari River and
the Saraswati River.
Devotees will be taking bath at the confluence of Godavari
Rivar and Pranahita River during the Pushkaram. It is believed
that Saraswathi River flows underground along with Pranahita and Godavari rivers
at Kaleshwaram.
Sri Kaleshwara Mukhteeshwara Swamy is located here. In the
temple, two Shivlings are placed on single pedestal and one is called Yama and
another Shiva.
Devotees, who visit this place, first offer prayers to Lord
Yama and later to Lord Shiva.
The temple also houses Goddess Saraswathi and Surya, the son
god. Thus the temple is home to unique murtis.
Kaleshwaram is around 130 km from Karimnagar in Andhra
Pradesh.
Saraswati Pushkaram and Pranahita Pushkaram are also held here.
