About Kapileshwar Swamy Temple
Kapileswara Swamy temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is located near the Tirumala hills in Andhra Pradesh. The temple also attracts huge waterfalls from the mountain stream Palapa Vinasanam. The main idol of the temple is believed and positioned by Kapila Muni, so Lord Shiva is worshipped as Kapileswara and a massive stone statue of Nandi is situated at the entrance of the temple. There are many holy places within the main temple premises like Kamakshi, Vinayaka, Subhramanya, Agastheeswara and Sri Krishna. Both the temple and the waterfall are considered to be highly sacred. This is a good place to visit during the monsoons as the waterfall looks amazing but the waterfall would be empty in the late winter and summer seasons. The festivals also celebrated in the temple are Brahmotsavam, Annabhishekam, Maha Shivarathri and Vinayaka Chaturthi. Kapileswara Swamy Brahmotsavam is the biggest event of the temple celebrated during the month of February.
