Srisailam Pop: 21,000 Area Code 085195 Located on Rishabhagiri Hill on the bank of the sacred river Krishna, xe "Srisailam" Srisailam is a 6-hour bus ride south from Hyderabad (200km). It is an ancient place, and is mentioned both in the Mahabharata and in the Puranas. On top of Srisailam Hill is the famous Mallikarjuna Temple, dedicated to Lord Siva. It is one of the most popular pilgrimage sites in Andhra Pradesh It is a necessary part of the Srisailam pilgrimage to bathe in the Pathalaganga River (the local name for Krishna River), located about 3km east of the Mallikarjuna Temple. Steps lead down to the river from the temple. Siva-linga stones are collected from the banks of this holy Krishna River. The Uma-maheswara Temple, about 3km northwest of the
Mallikarjuna Temple on the way to Pathalaganga, is an ornate temple.
In Basar, there is a temple dedicated to Saraswati. This is one of two
main Saraswati temples in India (the other is in Kashmir). Sri Chaitanya visited this temple, and Sankaracharya also stayed at Srisailam for some time. The Maratha General Shivaji came here in 1674. It is said that Prahlada Maharaja visited this temple, and also Lord Rama upon his return from Lanka. Lord Rama is said to have personally installed the Sahasra-linga here. There are five lingas in the inner courtyard. Because they are said to have been installed by the Pandavas, they are known as the Panchapandavas. Behind the main temple and up a flight of stairs is the temple of the
goddess Bhramarambika (Parvati), who is said to have assumed the form
of a bee to kill the demon Mahisasura. If you press your ear to a tiny
hole on the exterior back wall of the sanctum, you can hear the buzzing
of a bee. The Siva-ratri festival here in February–March is huge.
Non-Hindus are permitted to enter this temple. Travel Several buses arrive from Hyderabad daily, but the 10 am luxury bus is the most pleasant. There are direct buses to Kurnool (1.15 pm), Tirupati (7.30 am), and Chennai (6 pm). It takes about 10 hours to get to Ahovalam from Srisailam.
