Located in Srisailam town of Nandyal district, Andhra Pradesh, this temple is dedicated to Lord Mallikarjuna (Shiva) and Goddess Bhramaramba (Parvati). It is one of the few temples in India where a Jyotirlinga and a Shakti Peetha coexist, making it highly significant for both Shaiva and Shakta traditions. The temple complex lies on the banks of the Krishna River, near the Nallamala forest range.
The temple follows Dravidian architectural style with a fortified enclosure, tall gopurams, and pillared mandapas. Daily rituals include Abhishekam, Archana, and Alankaram, while major pilgrim rush is seen during Maha Shivaratri, Navaratri, and the Karthika Masam period. Temple administration is managed by the Srisailam Devasthanam, and darshan is well-structured with free and paid options.
