Mallikarjuna Jyotirlinga

Mallikarjuna Jyotirlinga is situated at Srisailam on the banks of the Krishna River, surrounded by the dense Nallamala forest. This is the only Jyotirlinga where both Shiva (as Mallikarjuna) and Parvati (as Bhramaramba) are worshipped together. According to the Skanda Purana, visiting Srisailam is equal to visiting all Jyotirlingas. It is also simultaneously a Shakti Peetha — one of the 18 sacred shrines of Goddess Parvati.

Why Mallikarjuna is Special

Shiva + Shakti Together

The only Jyotirlinga where both Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati are worshipped in the same complex — double the blessings in one pilgrimage.

Forest & River Serenity

Set amidst the Nallamala Hills with the Krishna River flowing below — the natural beauty adds a deep meditative quality to the pilgrimage.

Jyotirlinga + Shakti Peetha

Srisailam holds the rare distinction of being both a Jyotirlinga and one of the 18 Shakti Peethas — an incredibly sacred dual status.

Ancient Dravidian Temple

The temple's stunning Dravidian architecture, dating back to the Kakatiya period, is a masterpiece of South Indian temple art and sculpture.

Krishna River Boat Ride

A scenic boat ride on the Krishna River near Srisailam dam offers breathtaking views of the surrounding forested hills and the temple in the distance.

Equal to All 12 Visits

Skanda Purana mentions that visiting Srisailam alone is equivalent to visiting all 12 Jyotirlingas — making it extraordinarily meritorious.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are prices not shown on the website?+
Prices for our Mallikarjuna Yatra packages are fully customized based on your departure city, travel dates, number of travelers, and hotel preference. Flights and accommodation vary significantly depending on your origin city. We provide a tailored quote so you get the most accurate and competitive price for your specific journey.
Why is Mallikarjuna called the Kailash of South India?+
Srisailam is perched on the Nallamala Hills surrounded by dense forests and the Krishna River — a setting that mirrors the Himalayan grandeur of Kailash. The co-presence of Shiva and Parvati (as Mallikarjuna and Bhramaramba) in one complex is unique to this Jyotirlinga, making it the spiritual equivalent of Kailash in South India.
How many days are required for Mallikarjuna Yatra?+
A minimum of 2 nights / 3 days is required for a comfortable yatra. We recommend 3 nights / 4 days to cover all key sights and have a relaxed darshan experience. For a comprehensive experience including nearby sacred sites, 4 nights / 5 days is ideal. All our packages can be customized to your available days.
Do you arrange VIP darshan at Mallikarjuna Temple?+
Yes! All Standard and Premium packages include VIP darshan line arrangement, allowing you to have a peaceful darshan without standing in long regular queues. Our local representative personally escorts you for darshan. Please note that VIP arrangements vary by temple and season — Adam Vacations ensures the best available access at all times.

What is the cancellation policy?+
30+ days before travel: 90% refund. 15–29 days: 70% refund. 7–14 days: 50% refund. Under 7 days: 25% refund. In case of natural calamities, government restrictions, or health emergencies, full rescheduling at no extra cost. Refunds are processed within 7–10 working days.
