About this temple history

The origins of the Srisailam Mallikarjuna Temple trace back to antiquity. According to Hindu legends, the temple’s history is intertwined with the tale of Lord Shiva and his son, Kartikeya. When Kartikeya chose to remain in isolation on Mount Krauncha after a misunderstanding, Shiva and Parvati visited him, giving rise to the sacred presence of Mallikarjuna - an incarnation of Lord Shiva - and Bhramaramba - an incarnation of Goddess Parvati.
