Yadagirigutta also known as Yadadri,[1] is a popular hindu temple situated on a hillock in Yadagirigutta of Yadadri Bhuvanagiri district of the Indian state of Telangana. The temple is an abode of Narasimha, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu.
Architecture
The sanctum sanctorum or Garbhagriha is located in a cave, under a huge slating rock, which covers half the abode.
The Chief Minister of Telangana, Kalvakuntla Chandrashekar Rao directed the officials for the renovation of the temple, and approved a final layout.[2]
Transport
Yadagirigutta is about 60 km (approx. 38 miles) from Hyderabad and is well connected by both Rail and Road. The nearest Railway station is Raigiri (about 3 km) for passenger trains. After alighting at Raigiri, one can take an auto rickshaw or Tanga.
For easy commute of the people from Hyderabad, MMTS - Phase II is considered to be extended from Ghatkesar to Raigir station, which is nearest to Yadagirigutta.[3]
