The Bhairavakona rock cut cave temples are a historically important Shaivism tradition site [1]. They are carved out of a single rock in the Nallamala hills [1]. The notable features of these rock cut caves are the inscriptions and eight different forms of Shiva: Shashinaga, Rudra, Visweswara, Nagarikeswara, Bhargeswara, Rameswara, Mallikarjuna and Pakshamalika Linga [1].
