Lord Mallikarjuna and Bramarambha Devi, Srisailam

“Om Namah Shivaya ” is the slogan where you will listen when visited this temple. As per our good plan we started in car as we are 4 members suitable for nice and safe journey. We started at 6’o clock in the morning, and on the way saw a beautiful sunrise after a long time.  Our first halt is at Dindi Dam, there we got some captures of ours & water as well which is at low level, but the flow is continuous.  And after an hour we started to srisailam, through the nalla malla forest, which is very dense, that I felt pretty excited as it was the first time to travel through the forest.  As some of our ancestors (monkeys), were beside the roads we gave them some stuff to eat, and travelled along the roads which were tiny lengthy way, and came out from Nalla Malla forest and reached deep high hills, where the temple is located.

      Then on the way to temple, we Visited sakshi ganapathi temple, there we came to know about an interesting fact that if anyone once visited srisailam temple, this lord note down’s these report as a proof, it is told that sakshi means a “proof”.  As we got a good accomodation on recommendation, in the early morning @ 5’o clock, we had a peaceful darshan of Lord Mallikarjuna Swamy (Lord Shiva) and Godess Bramarambha, as the previous day was the lunar eclipse the temple was well cleaned on the next day. And after that we went on a rope way to pathala ganga and had a holy dip bath, and went for the jyothirlinga darshan, as it is said that taking a holy dip in patala ganga will clean the sins of devotees.  After that we returned our room and next day morning we left to our home. While returning on the way we visited paladhara panchadara and drank water, were mountain water flows from that hill i.e is very pure, natural and hygienic. After that visited shikaram, which is the highest peak place in srisailam, one can view all over surroundings from there, took some fine snapshots. And by the evening we returned to our motel.
