Komuravelli Mallanna Temple

About Komuravelli Mallanna Temple

The Komuravelli Mallanna Temple, also known as Komuravelli Mallikarjuna Swamy Temple, is a sacred hilltop shrine located in Komuravelli village, Siddipet district, Telangana, approximately 85 km from Hyderabad along SH‑1 Rajiv Rahadari. Nestled atop Indrakeeladri hillock, the temple houses a clay‑molded statue (vigraha) of Lord Mallanna—an incarnation of Shiva—flanked by his consorts Golla Kethamma (Goddess Ganga) and Medalamma (Goddess Parvati). Though the exact origins are unknown, the idol is believed to be over 500 years old, and the temple architecture blends Dravidian and Chalukya styles with a prominent gopuram, natural rock sanctum, temple tank, and shrines dedicated to Veerabhadra and Bhadrakali. Pilgrims ascend about 200 stone steps worn smooth over centuries, passing small lingams embedded in rock en route to the sanctum. The legend of Lord Mallanna is preserved through Oggu Katha, a vibrant local ballad tradition. No written text exists; instead, folk singers narrate his divine marriage trials involving Goddess Medalamma in dramatic storytelling. An important ritual at the temple is the drawing of “Patnam”, intricate rangoli patterns symbolizing devotees’ wishes, created by Oggu Pujaris in front of the deity .
