Laksmi Narasimhadev Temple

There are three forms of Lord Narasimha in this temple-Jwala Narasimha, Gandabheranda Narasimha and Yogananda Narasimha-each embedded in stone. The oil lamps here are kept burning 24 hours a day. Many people visit this temple.

If you come through the main door (simhadwara) of the temple from the town square, not the road after getting off the bus, then you will see a Hanuman temple to the right. Just beneath Hanuman is a horizontal gap in the rock, 10 inches wide and about 60 square feet in area. The narrow cave is said to be the place where the Lord manifested Himself in the form of Gandabheranda Narasimha.

You then go down the stairs and come to the main hall, and behind you to the left is a temple. If you enter the hall by the entrance where the bus lets you off, this temple will be directly in front of you. Close to the rear pillar is a natural cave about 12 feet wide and 30 feet in length. This cave is under a huge rock riot forms a sloping roof, which is about 5 feet high in the middle of the passage.

At the end of the cave are the forms of Lord Narasimha. There are two rocks fastened to each other. On one of the rocks there is an image in the shape of a serpent. This is the form of Jwala Narasimha. On the other rock is an image of figure seated in meditation that said to be the image of Vogananda Narasimha. There are also silver Deities of Laksmi and Narasimha. To the left of the front pillar there is a shrine dedicated to the goddess Andalamma.

This temple is a very sacred place, and it is said that whatever a sincere devotee prays for here will not go unfulfilled-no pilgrimage to this place is made in vain. It is also stated that even incurable diseases will be cured here if one worships the Lord for a week or two, or even better for forty days, with full faith and determination.

This temple is located upon a 300 foot hill. At the foot of this hill is a gateway with a gopuram over it that is called Vaikuntha-dwara, or gateway to Vaikuntha, the spiritual world. Saturday morning is crowded, and you may have to wait two hours in a queue (line) for a one second darsana.
