Yadagirigutta Temple:
The Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple, also called Yadadri or Yadagirigutta temple, is a Hindu temple located on a hillock in the small town of Yadagirigutta in the Yadadri Bhuvanagiri district of the Indian state of Telangana. It is also known by the names Pancha Narasimha Kshetram and Rishi Aradhana Kshetram. Yadadri Temple is referred to as the Tirupati of Telangana. The deity Narasimha, a Vishnu incarnation, is the object of devotion at the temple.
Yadagirigutta Temple History:
Yada, the son of the sage Rishyasringa, is said to have offered penance to the god Narasimha here in the Skanda Purana. Narasimha took on five different incarnations after being satisfied with his penance: Jvala, Gandabherunda, Yogananda, Ugra, and Lakshmi. Yada asked Narasimha to stay in these forms atop the hill. Because of this, the main cave of the temple contains stone effigies of Narasimha in all five of his incarnations. In the past, the temple has adhered to the Thenkalai tradition of South India’s Vaishnava Agama Shastras.
According to yet another legend, Yada’s penance was accepted by Sriman Narayana, who then dispatched Sri Anjaneya to guide the rishi to a sacred location, where the Lord manifested as Sri Lakshmi Narasimha. This location is designated by a temple roughly 5 km from the current temple, which is situated at the base of the Yadagiri mountain. For many years, the sage worshiped the Lord there.
Many tribal people came to worship the Lord at this temple after learning of His presence after Yadarishi got moksha. However, because they lacked education, these followers started doing inappropriate devotion. Sri Lakshmi Narasimha relocated to the hills as a result. The tribesmen failed in their years-long hunt for their Lord.
Years later, the Lord showed Himself to one of the tribe’s pious women in a dream, leading her to a spacious cave where He presented Himself to everyone as five regal Avatars.
This temple does Puja and Aradhanam in accordance with Pancharatra Agamam. The late Sri Vangeepuram Narasimhacharyulu, who was the temple’s Sthanacharya and penned the Yadagiri Suprabhatam, Prapatti, Stotram, and Mangalashasanam, established the puja vidhanam (Puja method).
