Sri Sangameswara Swamy Temple is a Lord Shiva Temple in Sangameshwaram, Nandikotkur, Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh State. It is located near Muchumarri at the confluence of Sri Krishna and Bhavanasi rivers, on the foreshore of the Srisailam reservoir, where it is submerged part of the time, rising to the surface when the water level drops sufficiently. It was first submerged after the construction of the Srisailam Dam in 1981 and first surfaced in 2003.
Sangameshwara Temple Kurnool was only open for 40-50 days. Boats are available from the shore to visit the temple. There are government buses available to reach Pagidyala and the nearest train station is Kurnool railway station.
The temple’s wooden Lingam, Sangameshwaram, is said to have been installed by Dharmaraja, the eldest of the Pandavas, after his visit to the temple of Srisailam Mallikarjuna. The temple is considered a place of religious holiness because it was built at the confluence of seven rivers and remains visible for two months. (Bhavanasi, Krishna River and five rivers that previously join it namely Veni, Tunga, Bhadra, Bheemarathi and Malapaharini).
