Srisailam Kartika Masam is the month when the hill town wakes before 4 AM to temple bells and the smell of ghee lamps. Clay deepams line the Pushkarini on Monday evenings. On Pournami night, a burning arch lights up the temple front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kartika is Lord Shiva’s month in the Telugu calendar, and Srisailam is among the rare shrines where a Jyotirlinga and a Shakti Peetha share one temple complex. This year, Kartika Masam in Srisailam begins on 10 November and ends on 8 December. Devotees plan around the four Somavarams and Kartika Pournami on 24 November, since Puranic tradition holds that Shiva worship on these days washes away the sins of many births.Devotees visiting Srisailam during Kartika Masam can plan their journey from Hyderabad by road. Booking a Hyderabad to Srisailam cab<\/a> is a convenient option for families and groups travelling to the temple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That belief brings huge crowds. Free darshan queues crossed six hours on Kartika Mondays last year. Sparsha Darshan closes on weekends and festival days, rooms sell out early, and the forest road through Nallamala shuts at 9 PM. It’d save you a lot of trouble to know the Sparsha dates, darshan timings, ticket prices, event calendar, rooms and ghat road rules before you leave. A cab with a driver who knows the Mannanur checkpost timings also keeps your family off the forest road after dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
