Significance Sri Mallikharjuna Swamy temple at Komaravelli is considered the epicenter of Saivaite traditions in the district and follows the Veera Saiva Aagama code of worship. Set against a beautiful hilly backdrop, the temple attracts thousands of devotees each year. The temple is a beautiful structure with a majestic seventier Raja Gopuram that marks the entrance. Part of the allure is the centuries old image of the Lord, which is of Putta Matti or soft earth. The Lord is accompanied by his consorts Goddess Kethamma and Goddess Medalamma. Another interesting aspect here is that 1Linga Balijas, a Hindu sect, perform the worship services inside the Sanctum while Oggu Priests of the Yadava community perform the traditional Patnam and Bonam rituals. These traditions are associated with a legend. Another interesting tradition is that devotees prepare food in special clay vessels and offer to the Lord themselves. They take these vessels back with them to their respective places. Devotees have a staunch belief that if these vessels are used in their houses they will be blessed with peace and prosperity. Circumambulations around the Ganga Regi tree and worshiping of Vallu Banda are also quite popular, as devotees believe that doing so will fulfill their desires and bless the childless with children. Devotees consider the traditional turmeric prasadam taken from the left hand bowl of the Lord very sacred. The whole area reverberates when devotees ecstatically scream Komaravelli Malanna Korikalu Edeerche Mallanna reflecting the Lord=92s generousness in fulfilling the desires of his devotees. History The Lord is believed to have manifested as Sri Mallikharjuna Swamy and made Komaravelli his abode in the eleventh century CE. The Lord married Golla Ketamma from the Yadava community and Medalamma from the Linga Balija community, which explains the association of those communities with the worship services of the Lord. Legends Legend has it that the Lord appeared in the dream of a shepherd and informed him that he manifested as Mallikharjuna Swamy on the hill Indrakeeladri and asked him to worship his Putta Matti image to fulfill his wishes. People began to worship the benevolent Lord to fulfill their wishes ever since.

"Ra" is the agni beejam and "Ma" is the amrita beejam. "Ra" indicates the destroyer of ignorance in humans while "Ma" indicates the praana vaayu being nourished. Hence, the great composer, Thyagaraja Swami, a huge devotee of Lord Ram, often stressed on these beejams in his compositions.
Rama is the in-dweller in every body. He is the Source of Bliss (Atma-Rama) in every individual. His blessing, surging from that inner spring, confers peace and bliss. He is the very embodiment of Dharma, of all the codes of morality that hold mankind together in love and unity
