Brahmaramba Mallikarjuna Templeis located in Srisailam dedicated to Lord Mallikarjuna (Siva) & Brahmaramba (Ma Parvati). The origin of this temple have been lost in antiquity. The Skandapurana has a chapter called Srisaila Kandam, dedicated to it, which points to the ancient origin. This is confirmed also by the fact that saints of the past millenia have sung praises of this temple. It is said that Adi Sankara visited this temple & at that time he composed his Sivananda Lahari.

Srisailam is referred in the ancient Hindu puranas, and the epic Mahabharatha. Siva's Sacred bull Nandi is said to have performed penance at the Mahakali temple, till Siva and Parvati appeared before him as Mallikarjuna & Brahmaramba. This temple is one of the 12 hallowed Jyothirlinga; Lord Rama himself installed the Sahasralinga, while the Pandavas lodged the Pancha pandava lingas in the temple courtyard.

Heroic legends from the Maha Bharatha & Ramayan are sculpted in stone on the temple walls & Maha Bharatha epic refers to Srisailam as Sri Parvatha - The Blessed hill. We can hear the buzzing of a bee through a tiny hole in the Brahmarambha temple, where Parvati, in the form of a Bee, Slew the Doman- Mahishasura
