Overview
Brahmagiri is the hill of the Gautama legend: on its slopes the sage's prayer brought the Gaṅgā down as the Godāvarī, and the Tryambakeśvara Jyotirliṅga stands at its foot.

Per the Koṭirudra Saṃhitā, Gautama's austerities on this hill moved Śiva to release the Gaṅgā over its crest; pilgrims still climb Brahmagiri to the springs held to be her first waters.
