The history of this temple dates back to a time when Goddess Parvati asked Lord Shiva to name his most cherished place in the Universe, apart from Kailasa, he chose the breathtakingly beautiful Srisailam, the embodiment of Sri Chakra, nestled in picturesque nature. In this sacred location, Shiva and Shakti manifest as Sri Mallikarjuna and Bhramaramba to bless their devotees.
Srisailam holds immense ancient significance as described in the Puranas. It is home to the 2nd Jyotirlinga, Mallikarjuna Swamy Lingam, and the 6th Maha Shakti Peetha, Sri Bhramaramba Devi temple. Remarkably, Srisailam is the only temple where both these sacred icons coexist under one roof. The place is also known by various names such as Srigiri, Sirigiri, Sriparvatam, and Srinagam. Throughout different ages, many divine and illustrious figures have visited Srisailam to receive blessings, including Narasimhaswamy in Satya Yuga, Sri Rama and Sita Devi in Treta Yuga, the five Pandavas in Dvapara Yuga, and numerous yogis, rishis, munis, preachers, spiritual teachers, kings, poets, and devotees in Kali Yuga.
