History
Shri Vighn-harneshvar Parshva Digambara Jain Atishaya Kshetra

The large idol of Parshva in standing posture was recovered during the construction work of government flats in year 1984. A magnificent temple with a dharmashala was constructed by the Jain Samaj, Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh. This idol has shown miraculous results and the darshana of Vighn-haraneshvar Parshva is believed to diminishes the worldly worries and fulfills the desired.
The main idol of Parshva is made of black stone of 11 feet and 3 inches in height, and in standing posture with seven serpent hoods overhead and belongs to 9th century. Water of consecration flows from all the hoods and then through head and shoulders it comes to feet. The scene of consecration by milk looks like the flow of pearls. The process of consecration is done according to Gomateshwara in Karnataka. The temple was constructed in year 2003.
Kulcharam is the birthplace of an eminent critic, Mallinātha Sūri, who made a great contribution to Sanskrit.[6]
