| Yadagirigutta Temple
| |
| Location: Yadagirigutta, Nalgonda
Deity: Narasimha incarnation of Vishnu
The sanctum is a natural cavern on the hill. Jwala Narasimha, Ghandabheranda Narasimha (without an image) and Yoga Narasimha are worshipped here, in addition to a silver image of Lakshmi Narasimha and a shrine to Aandaalamma. Two rock formations in sanctum wall are revered as Jwala Narasimha and Yoga Narasimha respectively. The Jwala Narasimha resembles a serpent, while the Yoga Narasimha image shows Narasimha in meditation. This temple is at a height of 300 feet on Yadagiri hill. At the foothill there is Vaikuntha Dwara entrance. At the entrance there is a shrine dedicated to Hanuman with a gap in the rock representing Ghandabheranda Narasimha. There is also a temple to Shiva on the Yadagiri hill.
Legend: Yadava, the son of Rishyasringa meditated on Vishnu desiring a vision of three different forms of Narasimha. His wish was granted and the hill was named Yadavagiri, and later Yadagiri. Local belief is that worshipping here for a period of 40 days relieves the devotees of incurable diseases.
