It is said, that those who worship Lord Mallikarjuna recieve instant good fortune and all their poverties are washed away. Devotees prevail with astral powers and after death they attain “Moksha” - enlightenment.
The most appealing feature of this temple is that anyone of any cast and creed, can touch the deity and worship here, a custom not found anywhere in Andhra Pradesh.
Worship of Lord Shiva at this shrine gives the effect equivalent to one’s performing an “Ashwamedha Yagya”, a great horse sacrifice performed in ancient times.
In Sri Sailam the Krishna river is known as “Pathala Ganga”, and is a very sacred river for pilgrims. It is about two miles from the temple, with a flight of 500 stone steps leading to it. People bathe in this river before going for the darshan of the Lord.
