    You could ask the temple office if they run a short guided walk around the complex they usually point out the stone inscriptions on the outer walls that date back to the Satavahana and Ikshvaku periods. Another tip is to walk to the nearby hilltop shrine of the Venkateswara temple; its old pillars and frescoes often echo the same iconography as Srisailam. If you have time, a visit to the nearby town of Kurnool gives a good view of the Vijayanagara era fort walls that once guarded the region.
