Achanteswara Swami and Achannuteswarudu, the Shiva Lingam in this temple is said to be self-manifested. This temple was built during the reign of Eastern Chalukyas. There are about six Shiva lingas.
There’s once Two Saivites from Achanta, thought of worshipping Lord Siva in Kasi during lingodhbava time. On time being, they came across a prostitute and One of the devotees attracted towards her and dropped his journey to Kasi. The person who was performing Abhishekam to Linga during Lingodhbava time was distracted and keep thinking about his friend and pleasures. The one at pleasure house regretted and assumed Prostitute’s Udder as Linga and started worshipping with devotion during Lingodhbava time. Impressed Lord Siva self-manifested here. Hence the Achanteswara means it looks like a female breast.
