Uma Maheshwaram

Uma Maheshwaram is famous for the Uma Maheswara Temple, built in the second century. The main gods of the Uma Maheshwaram temple are Mallikarjuna, a form of Shiva, and Bhramaramba, a form of Parvati. The temple is in the deep Nallamala Forests in the Mahabubnagar district. People think of Uma Maheshwaram as the northern entrance to Srisailam, the holy town. It's a great place to visit.

Tourists can see beautiful views of the Nallamala Forest from the area around the temple. It is a lovely place worth visiting during the Srisailam tour package.

The temple has existed since Maurya Chandragupta. It is famous as Shivalinga, and it has two sides: one is white, and the other is red—the god in this temple, which is in a natural cave. The water flow from the hills around this temple is steady. The views are so beautiful; it looks as if Goddess Ganga herself has kept everything clean. A big tank is close to the temple. It leads to Srisailam from the north and is one of the Jyotirlingas. It's on top of the hill, where giant trees cover it.
