Srisailam is located in the Kurnool region of Andhra Pradesh. Shouts of joy fill the area. The whole area is covered with forests of Kadali, Bilva trees, mountains, and Pataraganga.
All echo the sentiments of those devoted ones. In ancient times, King Shankara was supposed to visit the same place. He decided to make this his permanent residence. This place is called Kailash Niwas.
When Kumar Kartikeya returned to Kailash after completing his world tour, he heard of Ganesha's wedding from Narada. This made him angry. Despite being banned by his parents.
Touching their feet, he bowed and went to Krounch Mountain. However, several attempts were made to silence Parvati and to make him understand the situation, all to no avail. He was very upset.
Lord Shankara then sent Deva Rishis to Pacify Kumar and returned him. But even those efforts failed. Parvati was so worried about being away from her son, she begged Shankara to look for their son. Together, they set off in search of Kumara.
However, Kumara left with three other Jonas, after hearing about his parents coming after him to Krouncha Mountain. Not finding their son there, Shiva and Parvati were worried.
Before continuing to search for their son on each mountain, they decided to leave a lamp on every mountain they visited. From that day on. the area is known as JyotirLinga Mallikarjuna.
Shiva and Parvati are believed to have visited the area in Amavasya (No day of the month) and (full day of the month) Pournami, respectively. Visiting this JyotirLinga not only blesses a person with countless riches, but also a name and fame and fulfills all desires.
Legend has it that in ancient times, Arjuna went on a pilgrimage to the shrine. During his visit, he came across his Kadali Vans (banana groves). Lord Shankara wanted to test Arjuna's ability to bow. He took the form of a Bil (Mountain tribal) and followed him and hunted wild boars, after which Arjuna also-ran.
They both put their claim on the pig. They fought and Arjuna won in the end. Excited, King Shankara appeared before him. He is famous for Kiratarjun Yuddha. On one occasion, a princess named Chandravati decided to go into the woods to express her regrets.
He has chosen Kadali Vana for this purpose. One day, he saw a miracle. The Kapila cow was standing under a Bililwa tree and milk was flowing from all four of her teats, sinking into the ground. The cow has been doing this as a normal daily routine.
Chandravati dug the site and became speechless with the invention of what he saw. There was Syarnbhu ShivaTrying for self-promotion. It shone and shone like the rays of the sun, and it looked like it was burning, throwing flames all around.
Chandravati prayed to Shiva in this body as JyotirLinga. He built a large Shiva Temple there, Lord Shankara was very happy for him, Candravati went to Kailash windborne. You have received salvation with Mukti.
In one of the temple's stone inscriptions, Chandravati's story may appear to have been recorded. Shaila Mallikarjuna's shrine is located on the banks of the Krishna River Here the Krishna River is in the form of Palaganga (underground spring).
Dedicated lakhs take a sacred dip here and head to Darshan for JyotirLinga. During the Karnataka Movement, Chatrapati Shivaji used to come to take the Darshan of JyotirLinga during the Maharatri He built a tower on the right side of the Temple and opened a free restaurant.
The kings of the Vijayanagar Dynasty also built the Temple, Tower, Portico, and the dam. Ahelyadevi Holkar, a devout Shiva devotee, built a sturdy bathhouse containing 852 steps on the shores of Patalganga.
Previously, this part of the Shaila Mountains was a difficult, inaccessible, and dangerous place. Even they, the devotees, with their great power, used to get there in great numbers.
Hiranyakashipa, Narada Pandavas, Sri Ram are some of the great legends who should have visited this sacred place.
