Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple, Yadagirigutta (Yadadri)
Lord Lakshmi Narasimha
Yadagirigutta, Yadadri Bhuvanagiri district, Telangana
Cave temple of Narasimha near Hyderabad, rebuilt as a grand black-granite complex in 2022.
History
The hill is named after sage Yadarishi, son of Rishyasringa, who did penance here; Narasimha appeared to him in five forms — Jwala, Gandabheranda, Yogananda, Ugra and Lakshmi Narasimha — worshipped in the cave. The temple was patronised by the Kakatiya kings and later local rulers. A massive reconstruction by the Telangana government, using black Krishnashila granite with no cement, was completed and reopened in March 2022.
Architecture
Agama-based Dravidian complex in black granite with seven gopurams; original cave sanctum preserved.
