Prahladpuri Temple
پرہلاد پوری مندر
Ruins of a Hindu temple on the fort's high ground, said to be the site of the legend of Narasimha, Vishnu's man-lion avatar. It was destroyed in 1992.
According to tradition, this is the original site of the story of Prahlad and Narasimha, Vishnu's man-lion avatar, and it is regarded as one of the birthplaces of Holi. The temple was destroyed in 1992 during the Babri Masjid incident in India, and only broken walls remain. It stands right beside the Shrine of Bahauddin Zakariya, so you can take a quick look while visiting the shrine. When taking photos, please be respectful of the surrounding religious sites.
