Yadagirigutta is the divine abode of Lord Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy. It is situated in Nalgonda District of Andhra Pradesh, India about 60 KMS away from Hyderabad., the state capital.

Several years ago, Yadarshi, son of the great sage Rishyatunga did 'tapas' here with the blessings of Sri. Anjaneya Swamy. Pleased by his devotion and austerity Lord Sri Narshima Swamy appeared before him in his five forms namely Wala, Yogananda, Gandaberunda, Ugra and Laxminarasimha "archa rupams" (forms which can be worshipped). The hill which Narsimha Swamy appeared before Yadarshi has hence came to known as Yadagiri.

It is believed that the Lord Initially appeared as Jwala Narasimha Swamy (Lord as a flame). Yada Maharishi was unable to face the intensity of this form of appearance. Later the Lord appeared in a peaceful form as Yoga Narasimha (Lord in a Yogic Padmasana posture with open palms on the knees). Not satisfied with the Lord appearing alone, Yada Maharshi sought to see him with his consort, so he is said to have appeared with Lakshmi on his lap', known as Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy. This form is worshipped by Alwars, his ardent devotees. As such this pilgrimage is also known as “Rushi Aradhana Kshetra” or the place of worship for sages.

Two particular rock formations in the wall of the sanctum cave are revered as Jwala Narasimha and Yoga Narasimha respectively. The Jwala Narasimha image resembles that of a serpent, while the Yoga Narasimha image shows Narasimha seated in meditation. At the temple entrance to the temple there is a shrine to Hanuman and a gap in the rock, which is said to represent Ghandabheranda Narasimha.

It is also believed that the Lord appears in the dreams of the devotees and cures diseases as a doctor. This is true and believable. It is hoped that pilgrims will be bestowed with the good health, prosperity along with the blessings on the darshan of the Lord Narasimha Swamy.
