Bhimavaram was the site of several protests during the Salt Satyagraha Movement. It played a major role in the freedom movement, during the rule of British empire in India. The taluka office in the Bhimavaram is a witness of freedom movement since 1887.

To support Non-Cooperation movement all sectors of people like Teachers, Lawyers, administrative staff who were working for British empire pen down their services and also stopped paying taxes. After knowing this Mr.Gandhi praised Bhimavaram as the "Second Bardoli" in his journal "Harijan".

Mahatma Gandhi was very much moved after seeing the generosity  of the people during his visit to the city in the year 1932. People were religiously donating their fortunes to "Independence fund (Tilak Nidhi)" to support Freedom movement. Mahatma then praised Bhimavaram as the land of "Supreme Sacrifice". During Quit India movement on August 17, 1942 Police opened fire to control the protestors at Taluka office, where few people were killed.

The Sivalinga at this place is established by Lord Chandra (Moon God). Since it was built by Lord Chandra, Shivaling here will change its colour according to Lunar aspect.
