Visited for Mallikarjun jyotirlinga and Brahmarambika Shakit Peeth. The only place in India where Jyotirlinga and Shakti peeth is under 1 roof. We went for Alankar darshan and Sparsha darshan. Alankar darshan is very they allow you to see jyotirlinga in decorated form and in Sparsha they literally allow you to touch the jyotirlinga. Alankar however is nothing different, what you get in 500 Rs is the same what you will get to see in free darshan queue also, only thing what matters is time. However it's better to book your darshan tickets online to avoid last moment rush. Shaktipeeth is in same premises hence same queue follows. Accomodations are also nicely maintained with clean and big rooms. Ganga Sadan and Gowri Sadan are near to temple with decent food options available nearby. Ganesh Sadan is almost 3 Kms from temple. It has been recently build hence no food option near by and bit far from temple. Distance is the only difference between 1000 Rs (Ganga and Gowri) and 2000 Rs (Ganesh Sadan) rooms. Rooms are spacious, however since they don't provide extra bedsheets or blankets only 2-3 adults can occupy as they give 1 king size bed only. It's better to book accomodation online. Near Reception office, there is a place Sai Shankar restaurant which serves good food and also provides dormitories. Other places for sightseeing are Patalganga where you will have rope car and boating option (nothing much as rope car is hardly 1 min pass and boating is like 20 mins but nothing attractive or river like feel) Sakshi Ganpati is at a distance of 10 mins drive from main temple where you need to visit first and then go to main temple darshan.

Great experience. Long drive from mumbai. The drive up the hill of around 35 kms is an experience. Has online booking facilities. Should use. Well managed. Cannot take mobiles bags etc inside and has to be stored outside. Not many fancy restaurants. Have to enter before 9pm as the road up the hill is closed from 9 pm to 6am. Can do a day trip if staying nearby. Has market area near in case need to buy sandalwood powder paste etc

I took may parents there in Jan23 end. Stay in hyderabad and hired a day taxi for travel from and back to hotel. Journey is good, the outer peripheral roads and shops area was undergoing some renovation. you have to deposit luggage at one place, mobile at another place and footwear at third place, may be due to construction work. but it was painful for old parents. Temple was very good, systematic & organised. even though it was long que, the line was moving , so it took around 1 hr for darshan. recommended to visit before 12:30 or after 4 pm. in afternoon its very hot. carry water bottles. for elderly its better to carry folding chair so that they can sit when they get tired. Prasad thing is somewhat different, you go to back side of devi temple, first pay for the prasad, carry the slip to other counter for getting the prasad by showing the slip. seemed too much commercialised. if you want bag, they charge it extra.

Well organised temple with transparent booking facilities. We did perform Chandi Homam and Abhishekam that was exceptionally conducted by the brahmins with very good explanation of process. All bookings are online and no counters for the same except for normal darshan.

The entire Drive from Hyderabad is quite a smooth ride. Just be careful once you enter Andhra pradesh. In the Villages of Sundipenta and Eegalapenta, local loot the travellers if they stop their cars. There is no Law and Order in Andhra pradesh. Rest is alla smooth ride

Sri Mallikarjuna Swamy temple is in Srisailam, Andhra Pradesh. It is a temple which is a jyotirlingam as well as shakti peetham. It is around four and half hour drive from Hyderabad. If you are planning to visit the temple, you can also book tickets online from Srisailam Devasthanam website, for an early darshan, or getting a rudra abhishek. Also if you want to go inside the garbh graha, wearing traditional Indian dress, like dhoti or pyjama is compulsory. The temple is of great historical importance in Hindu history, one can find reference to the temple in both Ramayana as well as Mahabharata. One can undertake the darshan and come back to Hyderabad the same day.
