Sri Golingeshwara Swami Temple is also locally called as Sri Kolingeshwara Kumara Subramaniya Swamy Temple and the village where the Temple is located is called as Biccavolu. It is a lovely stone Temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, who is in the form of Shri Golingeshwara Swami. This Temple dates back to the 9th Century and is believed to have been built by the Kings of Eastern Chalukya Dynasty. The Temple is East facing with a four tiered Rajagopuram. The Rajagopuram has been coloured in Yellow and opposite to it is a huge car parking area and more than 50 cars could be amply parked. There is a tinned roofing with 8 pillars just before the Rajagopuram. This Temple is said to be very old and now the Temple has been taken over by the Archaeological Survey of India. The Temple is slightly elevated and the Devotees may have to climb 4 steps to reach the premises. There is a pair of Dwara Baalakas at the entrance of the doorsteps. There is a Bali Peedam and a Dwajasthambam before which 3 Nandhi Vaahanam in black Idols and one in the form of a standing Panchaloga Nandhi is found. Close to the Dwajasthambam is a black Idol for Goddess Goumari who is one among the Sapthamathas. Just before entering the Sanctum Sanctorum is a big bronze gong and above the threshold is a rectangular Image of Lord Shiva, Parvathi, Ganapathi and Subramaniya Swamy. On entering the Main Shrine are the Idols of Subramaniya Swamy, Bhadrakali Samedha Veerabadrar, Ganapathi, Rowdhirini Devi, Mahisharasura Mardhini, Maheshwardu, Goddess Parvathi Devi. The Temple is very unique since the entire family of Lord Shiva could be seen in and around the Sanctum Sanctorum reverred as Idols. Shri Golingeshwara Swami who is an incarnation of Lord Shiva is seen in the Sanctum Sanctorum as a Brahmma Sutra Shiva Lingam which means that there is an angled circular line running across the Shiva Lingam which is very rare. Actually the Eastern Chalukyas had built around 108 Shiva Temples which means that they have built a Temple every time they won a war. Of the 108 Temples thus built, only 4 still remains and this Temple is one among the 4 Temples which is still surviving. All other Temples had been destroyed either during Moghul Invasion or due to vagaries of Nature. Initially the Temple's name stood as Sri Golingeshwara Swamy Temple but  gradually Subramaniya Swamy's fame and name spread like wild fire and in recent days many local people call this Temple as Subramaniya Swamy.  On the outer peripherals there are a spate of Naga Devathas Idols smeared with Kumkum and Turmeric and kept beneath a Tree. Other than this there are few other Nandhi Idols and Shiva Lingams in the outer peripherals. There are Sub Shrines for Raja Rajeswarar and Chandrasekarar who are worshipped as Brahmma Sutra Shiva Lingam. There are two Sthalams for Subramaniya Swamy. One is located in Chennai and known as Kumarakottam whereas the second Sthalam happens to be here in Bikkavolu. There are several turtles in a nearby pond close to the Temple and a few of them enter into the Temple premises and could be seen moving here and there. The Devotees do no harm to these turtles but take photographs and enjoy to be with them. Pradhosham, Maha Shivarathiri, Thai Poosam, Kiruthigai are some of the important festivals that are celebrated here annually and during these days the Temple atrracts several Devotees not only from the local Biccavolu but from other far flung areas.
