AYINAVOLU - MAILARDEVA AALAYAM

This Aalaya goes by another name of Mallikarjunaswamy Aalayam. It was built by King Kakati Rudradev and acquired immense fame due to munificent royal patronage, and adoration. The Sivalinga is white in colour and installed on a broad panavattam. Just over and above the Linga, there is installed a six-foot high icon of Mailardeva flanked by His consorts Balija Medalamma and Gollaketamma. The icon reveals the roudra - fierce aspect of Siva and holds in His four hands the potent weapons, like Trisula, Khadga, Dhamaru and Padma. A visitworthy Aalaya ! And a merit-conferring Lord !! It houses all the adorable Saivate gods in appropriate minishrines.

It lies at a distance of 14 km to Warangal, the district head quarters town of the same name in Andhra Pradesh.
