== Early life and career ==<br />
Hemareddy Mallamma was born in the 14th century in the North [[Karnataka]] region. She was an ardent devotee of [[Shiva|Lord Shiva]] in the form of Srisailam Mallikarjuna (one of the [[Jyotirlinga]]s). She grew up in a family of [[Veerashaiva]] [[Lingayatism|Lingayata]] devotees and followed the path of [[Basavanna]]. She went through a lot of torture by her sisters-in-law and even suffered murder attempts by them before they threw her out of the house. She started to live in a forest and continued her devotional practices. Srisailam Mallikarjuna (Lord Shiva) was pleased by her devotion, appeared before her and offered a boon. She asked him to give wealth to her family despite being tortured by them. She asked for her family to have wealth, do charity and not have ego. She is referred as Mahasadhvi, which means a great woman.<ref>{{Cite news |last=One India |date=2017-05-17 |title=ಮೇ 10ರಂದು ಹೇಮರೆಡ್ಡಿ ಮಲ್ಲಮ್ಮ ಜನ್ಮದಿನಾಚರಣೆ |work=One India |url=https://kannada.oneindia.com/news/karnataka/hemareddy-mallamma-birth-anniversary-on-may-10-117477.html |lang=kn |trans-title=May 10 is Hemareddy Mallamma's birthday}}</ref><br />
