City-information
for Yadagiri -Gutta
It is 60 km north of Hyderabad. This place was named after a sage named Yadava, who performed intense austerities to see Lord Vishnu in His form Lord Narasimha. Being pleased with him, Lord Vishnu gave him darsana (sight) of His form as Jwala Narasimha, Gandabheranda Narasimha, and Yogananda Narasimha. He begged the Lord to permanently remain on the hill in these three forms. Yadagiri is the corrupted form of the original name, Yadavagiri. The temple here is on top a hill.
