As one of the Pancharamas it is part of the five-temple circuit undertaken especially in the Karthika month (October-November).

History
Temple legend holds that the Shiva linga of Tarakasura was shattered by Kumaraswamy (Subrahmanya) and its five pieces fell at five places in Andhra, which became the Pancharama Kshetras. Here the linga is said to have been installed by Indra, giving the name Amareswara. The temple is dated to around the 11th century, and its earliest inscription is from 1129 CE. Raja Vasireddy Venkatadri Nayudu, zamindar of Chintapalli, who moved his seat to Amaravathi, renovated the temple and settled priests for its daily worship.
