Saleshwaram Yatra, often called Telangana’s Amarnath, is a unique and spiritually powerful pilgrimage that takes place just once a year during the Chaitra Pournima (April full moon). Located deep within the Nallamala forest inside the Amrabad Tiger Reserve in Nagarkurnool district, the ancient Shiva temple sits hidden inside a natural cave, where a Shiva Lingam is continuously bathed by a sacred natural spring. Reaching the temple involves a 6 km trek through rugged forest terrain, crossing hills, rocks, and streams, making the journey a true test of devotion. The area remains closed throughout the year, accessible only with special permission during the yatra days, which adds to its rarity and significance. Pilgrims believe that praying here on this auspicious day can wash away sins and fulfill wishes, and it is said that even Lord Rama visited this holy spot during his exile. With no mobile network, no commercialization, and only nature and faith surrounding the route, the Saleshwaram Yatra is a pure blend of spirituality, adventure, and serenity, offering an experience that’s both humbling and unforgettable.
