• Sakshi Ganapati Temple: The Sakshi Ganapati Temple is a tiny shrine to Lord Ganesha that is set within lovely settings. The MallikarjunaJyotirlinga is visited by people who are believed to be known to Lord Ganesha. In order to please Lord Shiva, he keeps a record. Because of this, before visiting any other temple in Srisailam, worshipers come to this one to record their visit. The sanctum of this temple is accessible only after a short 10 step ascent. The temple's setting, hidden amongst thick forest, is its most appealing feature.
• Maddileti Narasimha Swamy Temple: Every Saturday, Kanappa Dora would go hunting. One time, as he was walking through the forest, he spotted a monitor lizard that appeared to be glowing and to be a different hue. He immediately gave the order to his crew to capture the lizard. The lizard fled into an anthill known as Komali after the troops tried several times but failed to capture it. Even after digging the anthill, the soldiers were unsuccessful in finding the lizard, and they all went back to their home realm.On the same night, the Lord showed Himself to the King in his dreams and said that He was the one who had entered the anthill in the form of a monitor lizard. Knowing this, the king and the Vedic scholars prayed to the god who lived in the anthill. After blessing everyone, the Lord appeared as a 10-year-old boy from the anthill after being satisfied with their prayers.This place is known as the Maddileti Narasimha Swamy Temple because Narasimha Swamy emerged close to the Maddileru Canal.
