Lakshmi Narasimha Temple, Mangalagiri

Lakshmi Narasimha Temple, Mangalagiri, Hindu temple on Mangalagiri Hill in Guntur district, India.

The temple features an eleven-story gopuram reaching 153 feet high with detailed stone carvings and sculptures representing Hindu deities throughout its structure.

The Vijayanagara ruler Krishnadevaraya visited this sacred site, and zamindari patron Vasireddy Venkatadri Nayudu constructed the main tower during his period.

The temple maintains daily rituals where priests pour panakam, a mixture of jaggery and water, into the deity's mouth as part of religious ceremonies.

Visitors can reach the temple through regular bus services from Vijayawada city, with the site remaining open from early morning until late evening.

This temple forms part of eight sacred Narasimha sites in India, distinguished by its metal-faced deity that receives continuous offerings of sweet water.
