Srisailam, in the Nallamala hills of Andhra Pradesh, is home to Lord Mallikarjuna, one of the twelve Jyotirlingas.
Jyotirlinga and Shakti Peetham
The temple complex is also the shrine of Goddess Bhramaramba, making Srisailam one of the rare places revered as both a Jyotirlinga and a Shakti Peetham.
The setting
The temple overlooks the Krishna river, and the drive through the forest hills is part of the pilgrimage for many families.
