The origins of this temple have been lost in antiquity. The Skanda Purana has a chapter Called Sri Saila Kandam dedicated to it, which points to the ancient origin. This is confirmed by the fact that saints of the past millennia have been sung its praises. It is said that Adi Shankara visited this temple and at that time he composed his Sivananda Lahiri.
SriSailam is referenced in the ancient Hindu Puranas, and the epic Mahabharata.
