SRISAILAM

HATAKESWARAM

It lies at a distance of 3 km from the temple. It is believed that Sri Adi Sankara dwelt here for some time and wrote Soundaryalahari and Bramaramba Ashtakam in praise of the deities here. There two springs called Paala dhaara and Pancha dharma believed to containing medical properties and they were associated with Sri Sankara. And hence sanctity.

DAM SITE

It is, as Nehruji put it, a modern temple of great socio-agro industrial importance and lies at a distance of 14 km from the temple. This 512metre long Srisailam Dam built across Krishna rises to the height of 274 metres and produces 770MW of power, besides irrigating 7 lakhs of acres in Telangana and Rayalaseema. Though not affords a soulful experience, it is an eyeful sight that deserves visiting.
