Akka Mahadevi Caves is located approximately 18 km from Srisailam. Edit

Detail InformationEdit

Akka Mahadevi caves are located on the ranges of Nallamalai Hills and are at a distance of about 10 km from Srisailam. There is evidence to believe that the caves have been in existence since the prehistoric times. In fact, the caves have played an pivotal role in the history of the town. The cave has obtained its name, for it is believed that the famous 12th century philosopher and lyricist from Karnataka, Akka Mahadevi did penance and offered prayers to a Shivalingam that was naturally existant deep inside the very same cave.The Akka Mahadevi caves are naturally formed caves and are located very near to the upstream of the river Krishna. The main cave has a naturally formed rock arch that is considered a geographical marvel. The arch measures approximately 200x16x4 feet and has no support of any kind at all. Tourists are attracted more to the arch than to what lies inside the caves. The rocks, without doubt, are the most attractive things inside the cave especially since they are proven to be as old as life on earth. Travelling to the cave is an experience in itself as one has to journey through river Krishna. Exploring the 150 meter depth of the cave is an experience that is sure to leave the travelers spellbound.

HistoryEdit

The caves are located in the Nallamala hill ranges, just above the upstream flow of the river Krishna. Throughout history, the caves have been the seat of several violent and secretive Saiva sects such as the Kapalikas. The caves can be reached by motor boats that are provided for by the Tourism Department of Andhra Pradesh. The journey covers a distance of 10 kilometres.

Mallikarjuna constitutes one of the 12 Jyotirlingam shrines of Shiva and is one of the greatest Shaivaite shrines in India. The presiding deities of Mallikarjuna Temple are Mallikarjuna (Shiva) and Bhramaramba (Devi). The temple sculptures narrate in stone, epics from thre great Hindu epics-Ramayana nand Mahabharata.

According to popular legends, the religious leader had visited the temple and had composed his famous Sivananda Lahiri. It is also believed that Goddess Durga had taken the form of a bee and worshiped Lord Shiva here and selected this holy place as her abode.

HistoryEdit

Sri Mallikarjuna Swamy Temple, Srisailam is one of the 18 Maha Sakti Peetha. The mythology of Daksha yaga and Sati’s self immolation resulted in the emergence of Sri Parvati in the place of Sati Devi and making Shiva a house holder. This mythology is the story behind the origin of Sakti Peethas. They are holy abodes of Sakti formed due the falling of Sati Devi’s corpse when Shiva carried it and wandered. It is believed that Sati Devi’s Upper lip has fallen here. According to Shiva Purana, when Lord Ganesh was married of before his Kartikeya, and because of this brother Kartikeya became angry. Despite being stopped and consoled by his parents Shiv-Parvati, Kartikeya went away to the Kraunch Mountain. Even the Gods went and tried consoling Kartikeya but all their efforts were in vain. Because of this incident Shiv-Parvati were very sad and both decided that they would themselves go to Kraunch Mountain. However, when Kartikeya came to know that his parents have arrived, he went away. Eventually Lord Shiva assumed the form of Jyotirlinga and resided on that mountain by the name of Mallikarjuna. Mallika means Parvati, while Arjuna is another name of Shiva. In this way both Shiva and Parvati came to reside in this linga. It is said that by merely seeing the tip of mountain one is emancipated from all his sins and worries. The person becomes free from the vicious cycle of life and death.

Srisailam Dam Kurnool District, Across The Krishna River, Srisailam. Edit

Detail InformationEdit

The Srisailam Dam is one of the most important dams of Andhra Pradesh. It is also a very important tourist spot and the tourism department of the state ensures that this place is well maintained to capture the attention of the tourists. The reason why this dam assumes a very important place in the history of the state is because of its remarkable potential to generate hydro-electric power. In terms of production of hydroelectric power, this dam is the 3rd largest in the country. It is constructed across the famous Krishna River and is located in the Kurnool district. The base for the dam is the deep, green and dense Nallamalla Hills. The dam is quite big as it has around 12 radial crest gates. This dam stands at a whopping 300m above sea level and is a staggering 476 feet tall. Its length stretches to 1680 feet and the reservoir capacity is of 800sq.km. The main reason for the huge hydroelectric power generation is the presence of 6 Francis pump turbines of 150MW that are reversible on the left side of the river bank and 7 Francis turbine generators of 110MW on the right side of the river bank.

HistoryEdit

Srisailam Dam is built on the Krishna River and is 512 m long. It is set amidst beautiful natural scenery – ghats, cliffs, craggy ridges, plateaus and dense forests. It has twelve crest gates to hold a maximum water level of 885 ft (270 m). It has a live storage of 274 thousand million cubic feet. This reservoir was originally designed for hydropower generation only but was later converted to a multi-purpose facility for water supply and irrigation. Due to the construction of Srisailam Hydro Electric Project across river Krishna, nearly 102 villages in both Kurnool and Mahboobnagar Districts located along the banks of the rivers Krishna, Tungabhadra, Bhavanasi and their tributaries were submerged.

HistoryEdit

Sri Mallikarjuna Swamy Temple, Srisailam is one of the 18 Maha Sakti Peetha. The mythology of Daksha yaga and Sati’s self immolation resulted in the emergence of Sri Parvati in the place of Sati Devi and making Shiva a house holder. This mythology is the story behind the origin of Sakti Peethas. They are holy abodes of Sakti formed due the falling of Sati Devi’s corpse when Shiva carried it and wandered. It is believed that Sati Devi’s Upper lip has fallen here. According to Shiva Purana, when Lord Ganesh was married of before his Kartikeya, and because of this brother Kartikeya became angry. Despite being stopped and consoled by his parents Shiv-Parvati, Kartikeya went away to the Kraunch Mountain. Even the Gods went and tried consoling Kartikeya but all their efforts were in vain. Because of this incident Shiv-Parvati were very sad and both decided that they would themselves go to Kraunch Mountain. However, when Kartikeya came to know that his parents have arrived, he went away. Eventually Lord Shiva assumed the form of Jyotirlinga and resided on that mountain by the name of Mallikarjuna. Mallika means Parvati, while Arjuna is another name of Shiva. In this way both Shiva and Parvati came to reside in this linga. It is said that by merely seeing the tip of mountain one is emancipated from all his sins and worries. The person becomes free from the vicious cycle of life and death.
