The Sangameswara temple is a Hindu temple in the Nandyal district, Andhra Pradesh, India. It is located near Muchumarri at the confluence of the Krishna and Bhavanasi rivers, in the foreshore of the Srisailam reservoir,[1] where it is submerged for part of the time, surfacing when the water level recedes to a sufficient degree.[2] It was first submerged after the Srisailam Dam was constructed in 1981, and first surfaced in 2003.[citation needed]
The temple's wooden Lingam, Sangameshwaram, is believed to have been installed by Dharmaraja, the eldest of the Pandavas, after their visit to Srisailam Mallikarjuna temple.[citation needed] The temple is considered a place of religious sanctity due to being built at the confluence of seven rivers and remain visible for two months.[3] (Bhavanasi, Krishna River and five rivers that merge into it beforehand, namely, Veni, Tunga, Bhadra, Bheemarathi and Malapaharini).[4][5]
