Devipuram’s Shivalayam temple serves as a divine abode for Sri Raja Rajeswara, the presiding deity of the temple, who is revered as the Kshetrapalaka, the protector of the region. Within the temple, devotees can also find the sacred Ananda Bhairava lingam, representing Lord Shiva in his blissful form.
One of the unique features of the Sivalayam temple is the opportunity it provides for devotees to directly engage in abhisheka, the ritualistic bathing of the deity, with their own hands.

Significance
“Listen!” Kamakhya said, “Here I am residing here with Ananda Bhairava (Shiva in his happy mood). As I am happy, I want to bless the devotees with the same happiness! So many centuries ago there were celebrations and happy rejoicing in this place of worship (Devipuram) with yagnas, Vedic chant and many offerings in the yagna. ~ Extract from Guruji’s writings about his experiences.
