==History==
It is known for the Sri Lalitha Someswara Swamy Temple.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.trawell.in/telangana/mahabubnagar/lalitha-someswara-swamy-temple-somasila|title=Lalitha Someswara Swamy Temple – Somasila – Travel Info|website=Trawell.in|access-date=2018-12-19}}</ref> It is believed to have been built during the 7th century. [[Shiva|Lord Shiva]] is the presiding deity here. [[Maha Shivaratri|Mahashivaratri]] and Karthika Pournami are celebrated here with much religious fervor. A major draw is the festival, which is celebrated here once in 12 years. Pushkara Snanam - a dip in the [[Krishna River]] is considered auspicious on this occasion.<ref>{{cite web

There are 15 temples, all housing [[Lingam|Shivalingas]]. The temple was shifted from old Somasila village to higher land to protect it from being submerged in Krishna waters. Many visitors use the location for picnics. It is popular with pilgrims from Karnataka and Maharashtra.<ref>{{cite web
