Draksharama is one of the important centers of Shiva worship in Andhra Pradesh.
Several legends tie together the five Pancharama temples dedicated to Shiva.
Legend also has it that Vyasa installed the Shivalingam at Draksharama. Legend also has it that Draksharama was the site of Daksha yagna. Since it is believed that Sati immolated herself at the site of her father's sacrificial hall, no sacrificial yagna rituals are performed here.
