Pick up from your hotel in Hyderabad for a full-day excursion to the Sri Bhramaramba Mallikarjuna Temple, a revered site known for its significant spiritual and architectural heritage.
Visit Sri Bhramaramba Mallikarjuna Temple, situated on the banks of the River Krishna. This temple is often referred to as the 'Kailash of the South' due to its importance as one of the twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva and one of the eighteen Shakti Peethas dedicated to goddess Parvati. The temple's dual significance makes it a unique and sacred site for both Shaivism and Shaktism.
Explore the expansive temple complex, which covers 2 hectares and is surrounded by tall walls measuring 183 meters by 152 meters. The complex features four gateway towers (gopurams) that lead to numerous shrines. Notably, the central mandapam, known as Mukha Mandapa, was constructed during the Vijayanagar period and showcases intricately carved pillars and sculptures, including a prominent idol of Nadikeshwara.
Discover the legend associated with the temple from the Shiva Purana, which tells how Lord Shiva assumed the form of a jyotirlinga named Mallikarjuna to console his son Kartikeya, who was angry after his brother Ganesha’s marriage. This legend adds deep spiritual significance to the temple’s already sacred status.
Marvel at the temple's oldest shrine, dating back to the 7th century, where the Mallikarjuna linga is enshrined. The temple also houses a Sahasra linga (a thousand lingas), attributed to Lord Rama, and five additional lingams said to be commissioned by the Pandavas. The mirror hall in the first precinct displays images of Nataraja, adding to the temple's rich artistic and religious tapestry.
After sightseeing, drive back to Hyderabad and drop off at your hotel, wrapping up your immersive visit to this extraordinary temple.
