Sri Mallikarjuna Swamy Temple is the crown jewel of Srisailam, revered as both a Jyotirlinga and a Shakti Peetha. Located on the Rishabhagiri hill, the temple architecture features massive stone walls and intricate carvings that date back to the Vijayanagara empire.

Sakshi Ganapathi Temple is a small but historically significant shrine located in a peaceful forested area near Srisailam. Legend says that the Ganapathi idol here maintains a “witness” record of all pilgrims who visit the main Jyotirlinga. It is a traditional custom for devotees to visit this temple first to ensure their pilgrimage is officially noted in the divine ledgers before heading to the main temple complex.

Pathala Ganga is the sacred bathing ghat on the Krishna River, accessible via a scenic ropeway or a flight of hundreds of stone steps. Pilgrims take a holy dip in the perennial waters, believing it purifies the soul before darshan, while the surrounding cliffs of the Nallamala forest offer a breathtaking natural backdrop. It is a highlight of any Srisailam itinerary, providing both spiritual cleansing and panoramic views of the river gorge.

Srisailam Dam is one of the largest hydroelectric projects in South India, built across the mighty Krishna River.
