SRI SAILAM - BRAHMARAMBA AALAYAM 

And one can hear the humming sound of bee at the rear part of the temple even today. A slightly different version narrates that she killed a frightful daemon by name Arunasura taking the form of Bramara; for according to his rare boon, he would not be killed by any man, beast or deva. So she was named Bramarambika. In the literature of Kannada, the same episode is described with a certain princess instead of Bramarambika, who married Lord Siva following the bramara as in the other tale. 

In their first prakara adjacent to the main temples lies the Mother's shrine and it faces east. It is so built straight opposite the main mandir that the sight of the Mother falls on Siva Linga. The image resembles Durga Matha and reveals Santha Ruupa. And it's Enchantment is indescribable. The bliss she confers remains in minds and beckons visits again and again. 

The temple accessible from Markapur in Kurnool Dist of Andhra Pradesh.
