Hyderabad → Srisailam
Timings
The Sri Bhramaramba Mallikarjuna Swamy temple is usually open from about 4:30 AM to 10 PM, with a break in the afternoon. On festival days, Karthika masam Mondays and Maha Shivaratri the timings change, sometimes a lot.
Always check the current timings on the official website, srisailadevasthanam.org, before you plan the drive.
Darshan tickets
The devasthanam offers free darshan and several paid options, including quicker darshan and Sparsha darshan, where devotees can touch the Jyotirlinga at set times. Sparsha darshan has a traditional dress code.
Book paid darshan and sevas online on the official website. Avoid third-party sites selling tickets.
On busy days, the free darshan queue can take several hours. If you’re on a day trip, a paid slot in the morning makes the day much easier.
Planning the drive around darshan
Tell us your darshan slot when you book. On a day trip we usually aim to reach by 9 or 10 AM. If your slot is in the evening, the 2-day trip is safer, because the forest road usually closes at 9 PM.
