Mallikarjuna, Srisailam, Andhra Pradesh

Worshipped as Mallikarjuna, Shiva is represented as the ‘lingam’ while Brahmaramba is a depiction of Parvati at the Mallikarjuna Jyotirlinga. The temple has a gold-plated Vimana and sits around the legend that Lord Shiva and Parvati came after their eldest son Kartikeya and stayed here with the name of Arjun and Mallika. The temple sits close to the banks of the Krishna River in Srisailam and resembles a mighty fort. When in Srisailam, do visit the Srisailam Tiger Reserve where you can spot the majestic tigers in their full splendour. Also, see the Srisailam Dam that’s home to gushing white waters.
