Bidar, Karnataka · 17.9031°, 77.5439°
A cave temple at Bidar reached by wading some 300 metres along a water-filled tunnel cut under the Manichoola hills, where Narasimha is worshipped alongside a Shiva linga. It is counted among the 108 Abhimana Kshetrams of the Vaishnava tradition.
What follows is the temple’s own traditional account, transmitted through liturgy and local memory. It is recorded here as tradition, not as attested history.
The demon Jharasura, slain by Narasimha, is said to have turned into water that has flowed from the god's feet through the tunnel ever since.
