Yadagirigutta Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Temple
యాదగిరిగుట్ట శ్రీ లక్ష్మీనరసింహ స్వామి దేవస్థానం
One of Telangana's most important pilgrimage sites, rebuilt entirely in black granite in 2022, with a magnificent hilltop shrine.
The temple stands on a hill about 65 km northeast of Hyderabad and enshrines Narasimha, the man-lion form of Vishnu. The state government spent heavily to rebuild it in black granite according to traditional architectural rules, and it reopened in 2022. The seven-tiered gopuram and carved colonnades are magnificent, and the temple is known locally as Yadadri. Crowds are large, and the general queue can take hours, so you may want to buy express-line tickets. Visitors must dress traditionally to enter the shrine, and mobile phones must be deposited before entry.
