Must-Do Rituals
Five rituals every devotee should try to complete at Srisailam. Tap any one to read it.
🌊 RITUAL 1 Holy Bath in Krishna River ▼
Take a holy bath in the Krishna River (Pathala Ganga) with Sankalp.
The steps open early — best for a sunrise bath.
🪔 RITUAL 2 Light Deepam & Offer Dhoopam ▼
Devotees light deepams at Gangadhara Mandapam — before the main temple gopuram, near the large restricted gate. At the same place you can also offer dhoopam to the Jyotirlingam and Bhramaramba Devi. This is said to bring immense wealth.
🐄 RITUAL 3 Feed Cows Inside the Temple ▼
Fresh grass is available at stalls inside the temple.
🛕 RITUAL 4 Pradakshina around Jyotirlingam ▼
Doing pradakshina around the Jyotirlingam removes even prarabdha karma. This is one of the greatest spiritual benefits of visiting a Jyotirlinga.

A sacred ritual performed for departed ancestors — to help their souls attain moksha, break the cycle of rebirth, and receive their blessings. Performing it at a powerful Teertha Sthala is considered far more effective than elsewhere.
