Srishailam_ Mallikarjun
Srisailam Jyotirlinga in Andhra Pradesh is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas in India. The name of the Jyotirlinga here is Srimallikarjun. This Jyotirlinga is situated on the banks of river Krishna. Sreesailam is important for tourists and devotees as it is surrounded by sapphires. The area is covered with lush forests. The river Krishna flows through the high mountains on both sides and captivates the mind. How many times do you want to see this beautiful scene? The steep winding roads in the hills are breathtaking. The picture of the crowd of devotees in the character of the river is pleasing to the mind.
Looking at the history of Srimallikarjun, the Jyotirlinga at Srisailam, it is said that Shivaparvati had to decide which of Shivaparvati's sons Ganesh and Kartikeya should get married first. He summoned Ganesha and Kartikeya and told them that whoever completed his orbit around the earth would return soon. It was decided that he would get married first. Kartikeya rode his peacock to complete his orbit around the earth. Ganeshji considered his parents as the earth and he walked around his own parents. Shivaparvati was surprised. He asked Ganesha, how is this earth orbiting? Ganesha replied that circumambulation of parents means circumambulation of the earth. Parents are like God.
This is stated in the Puranas. So I've done this. Shiva Parvati was happy to hear this answer. She married Ganeshji first. Hearing the news of the marriage, Kartikeya got angry. He went to the Crouch Mountains south of Rusun and sat down. Shivaparvati came to the mountain of Srisaila to remove Kartikeya's rusva. In this way Mallikarjuna Jyotirlinga was formed on this mountain by his succession. Mallika means Parvati Arjuna means Mahadev.

The river Krishna, which flows through the Srisailam mountain range, is both wide and steep. During the monsoon season, the river becomes Rudra. The flow of water is faster. Seeing the character of the river flowing from the high cliff, the soul feels frightened. Feels scary character.

A hydroelectric power station has been set up on the Krishna river flowing through the Srisailam hills. This is special for tourism. It is a pleasure to see milky water falling from a height.
