About 360 km in a straight line from Chennai to Mallikarjuna in Srisailam. That figure is a straight-line estimate, not a driving distance. This page pairs it with the way people actually make the trip: the train through Markapur Road, a flight into Hyderabad, or the road.
The number is about 360 km, measured on the globe between Chennai and the temple town, then rounded to the nearest ten kilometres. It is a straight-line estimate.Treat it as a way to compare trips, not as a route: the road, the rail line and the air path all bend, and each one runs longer than this figure.
This is the same kind of number as the span on the map page. It tells you whether Chennaito Mallikarjuna is a long day or a multi-day journey, and it is honest about being a calculation rather than a measured route.

The railhead this site treats as the nearest is Markapur Road, about 91 km from the temple town. Over a long distance the train is usually the calmest option: an overnight run from most big cities, then the last leg by bus, jeep, auto or cab.
The nearest airport is Hyderabad, about 230 km away. Fly if the trip is short or the distance is long, then take a cab or a train for the rest. At a small airport the last departure of the day can be early, so plan the arrival side carefully.
Forest hills, ghat road. On a road trip the last stretch into the temple town is usually the slowest, and the hill and forest approaches can close in heavy monsoon rain or winter snow. Check the local road status the week you travel.
Rail. The devasthanam names Markapur, on the Guntur-Hubli line of South Central Railway, as the nearest station, 91 km away, with buses from there to Srisailam.
Air. The devasthanam names Hyderabad airport as the nearest, 230 km away, and says Telangana runs frequent buses from Hyderabad to Srisailam.
Road. The devasthanam gives Srisailam at 180 km from Kurnool, 220 km from Hyderabad, 272 km from Vijayawada and 530 km from Bangalore, and asks drivers in private vehicles to take care on the ghat road.
Train numbers, days of running and flight schedules are not printed here: they change with each timetable. This block records the approach the source describes, and the straight-line figure above is the only distance on this page.
The straight-line estimate uses these approximate coordinates, which are the city centre to one decimal place. They are not survey points, and they are only for this calculation.

Oct to Feb is the comfortable window, and Open all year. Srisailam dam and tiger reserve nearby. Decide the mode first, then the day: a train needs booking weeks ahead in festival season, a flight is flexible but the last leg is not, and the road is the one that the weather can change.
