About the Temple
Pithapuram is an ancient holy town that serves as both a prominent Shakti Peetha (Puruhutika Temple) and a sacred Shaivite shrine housing Lord Kukkuteswara Swamy. The temple dates back past the 10th century, with inscriptions from the Chalukya and Chola periods detailing royal grants. The Swayambhu Linga here resembles a cock’s footprint (Kukkuta), tying into rich Puranic lore regarding the destruction of the demon Tarakasura.
