Yadagirigutta, Telangana · 17.5892°, 78.9446°
A hilltop Narasimha shrine about 65 km from Hyderabad where the god is worshipped as Jvala, Gandabherunda, Yogananda, Ugra and Lakshmi Narasimha. Long a regional pilgrimage centre supported even by the seventh Nizam, it was demolished and rebuilt entirely in stone between 2016 and 2022 on Agama and shilpa principles.
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 Skanda Purana relates that Yada, son of the sage Rishyasringa, did penance on this hill and Narasimha appeared to him in five forms.
