Srisailam, one of the religious place in South India, where Lord Shiva is the Deity God in famous Srisailam Temple. The place is situated in the State of Andhra Pradesh.
It was believed that when Goddess Parvati asked Lord Shiva about his most desired place apart from Kailasa in the Universe created by him, he chose the eternally beautiful place nestled among picturesque nature, the avatar of Sri Chakra, the holy Srisailam.
As depicted in Puranas, Srisailam has great ancient significance. Among the 12 Jyotirlingas, the 2nd is the Mallikarjuna Swamy Lingam; among the 18 Maha Shakti Peethas, the 6th is Sri Bhramaramba Devi temple. Srisailam is the only temple where two such icons exist under one temple premise.
The road distance from Hyderabad to Srisailam is 210 kilometers and it takes approximately 4 hours.
I had an amazing visit to this Holi place early of December month, started in the early morning from Hyderabad and reached Srisailam within the estimated time. Road was smooth, clean and beautiful to drive.
We had booked the darshan-ticket in advance, which was the norm to follow indeed. However, deity darshan was simply amazing and mind filling.
The travel to Srisailam was amazing with nature wrapped with its beauty.
