Situated on the southern bank of the Penna river in Tadipatri, Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh, Bugga Ramalingeswara Swamy temple is a Siva shrine temple. The presiding deity is considered to be a 'swayambhu' linga.
There are seven small independent pillars in front of the Vishnu shrine at the temple, and when struck, they produce 'saptaswara'.
The Bugga Ramalingeswara Swamy temple is located 4 km from the Tadipatri railway station.
An axial line runs through a sanctum, ardhmandapa, and mukhamandapa in the temple.
This temple is unique because the Shiva linga faces west instead of east like in other Hindu temples.
Architectural historian James Anderson described the gopurams of the temple as 'wonders', though they remain unfinished.
This temple is located near Tadipatri bus station on the Southern bank of the Penna river.
