Sri Kasi Visweswara Swamy Temple - Bugga Agraharam

Sri Kasi Visweswara  Swamy temple is located at Bugga Agraharam, Chittoor district in Andhrapradesh State. It is located on the banks of Kusasthalai river.

Here lord is an incarnation of Lord Shiva.Sri Annapurna devi and Sri Kamakshi devi are the consorts of Kasi Visweswara Swamy.

This temple has a 3 tiered Rajagopuram.

There are five waterfalls known as the Pancha Ganga that run into the Kushastali River. This location is called Dakshina Kasi.
It was once a temple dedicated to Kalabhairava. At one point, Gowtama Maharshi wanted to turn this area into Dakshina Kashi and transform the Ganges into the Kushasthali River. He performed a Mahayagna, or penance, and was blessed by Shiva and Ganga to accomplish his goal.
Shiva gave Gowthama Maharshi a Shivalinga. The same was built in this temple by him.

He brought the Ganges down in 5 streams and made her flow in the Kushasthali river. Hence, this place is called Dakshina Kasi and the deity as Kasi Visveswara.

There is a big pool behind the Shivalinga. Water used to get accumulated in it always.

On the premises of this temple are temples dedicated to Vinayaka, Kalabhairava, Navagraha, and Nagakanya.

People believe that the ashes flown in Ganga provides moksha to the departed soul. In the same manner people believe that the ashes flown in this stream will also provide moksha.

Giri Pradakshina, Maha Shivaratri, Pavitrostavam, Navratri, Karthika Masam, Dhanurmasam and Vaikunta Ekadasi are the festivals celebrated here.
