History & tradition
Bugga Ramalingeswara Swamy Temple is a Shiva shrine on the southern bank of the Penna river at Tadipatri in the Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh. It was built between 1490 and 1509 by Pemmasani Ramalinga Nayudu I, a chieftain of the Gutti–Gandikota region under the Vijayanagara empire. The presiding deity is a lingam regarded as swayambhu, self-manifested. In front of the Vishnu shrine stand seven small pillars that sound musical notes when struck.
