Bhimeswara Puranam, also known as Bhima Khandam, is a 15th-century Telugu epic poem (prabandham) composed by the poet Srinatha. It is a sthala purāṇa, a type of local lore, that focuses on the Bhimeswara deity of Draksharamam and the sacred region of Bhima Mandala, located in present-day Andhra Pradesh. The work blends local traditions with broader religious narratives, drawing from Sanskrit puranas while maintaining a distinct identity in Telugu literature. It offers detailed descriptions of pilgrimage sites, particularly the Bhimeswara temple, and highlights the religious and cultural landscape of Andhra. The text also provides insights into the environmental and social conditions of the time. In addition to its religious content, the Bhimeswara Puranam serves as an important historical and cultural document, reflecting the geography, culture, and social conditions of the Andhra region during Srinatha’s time. The work traces the journey of Vyasa and describes various temples in the Prolunadu region. The text was first printed in 1901 and reprinted in 1929.
