Mallikarjuna, on the Nallamala hills above the Krishna river at Srisailam, Andhra Pradesh, is the second of the twelve Jyotirlingas. Shiva is worshipped here as Mallikarjuna together with the goddess Bhramaramba — making Srisailam that rarity, a jyotirlinga and a Shakti pitha on one hill. The temple's fortified walls and gopurams carry the patronage of the Kakatiyas, the Reddi kings and Vijayanagara — Krishnadevaraya raised works here, and in 1667 Chhatrapati Shivaji endowed the northern gopuram, binding this southern hill to the swarajya's story.
