Even in our daily routines like Sandhya Vandhanam, we make a mention of this holy shrine.So this place inspires the devotees to develop Gnana ,detachment and spirituality.This place has been the coveted resort for great Sages, Rishis and is known as Dakshina Kailasam. It has many facilities for education and research.
It is the popular saying that darshan of Srisailam liberates a person from the cycle of birth birth and death. It is a very sacred place with a glory of its own, which can be seen in the various scriptures and texts. This place is called Sri Parvatham, Sri Nagaram, Sri Giri, Sri Sailam etc.This is situated in Kurnool Distrct,Atmakoor Taluk in themountain range called Nalimala on the bank of river Krishna at a height of 1500 feet. There is no railway station in this place.The nearest one is Markapuram at about 100 k.m. from here. We can reach the place from Vijayawada, Hyderabad,Kurnool and then to Markapuram.From there, buses and other transport facilities are available.Andhra stateTransport Department have made arrangements from transport for various places to Sri Sailam.
The temple devastanam has set up choultries and houses for the convenience of the travellers.The free choultries are common for all people irrespective of their caste or faith.In some of them,free food is also served.There are four main entrances and four small ones.The east side main entrance is called Tripuranthakam, on the west Alampuram entrance,north Umamaheswaram and the South,Sidha Vadam (Pushpa Giri ) .In olden days, it was difficult to travel to the Nallamala region of the mountain.
