Yadagirigutta Temple, Hindu temple in Yadadri Bhuvanagiri district, India

The temple sits atop a hill at 3000 feet elevation, featuring a main shrine constructed with black granite and adorned with 125 kilograms of gold.

The temple dates back to the Chalukya period and gained recognition in ancient Hindu texts, specifically mentioned in the Skanda Purana sacred manuscript.

Hindu devotees gather in large numbers during Narasimha Jayanti to perform rituals and prayers dedicated to Lord Narasimha, the half-lion avatar of Vishnu.

The temple complex spans 1900 acres and received extensive renovations in 2022, with new facilities and improved infrastructure for accommodating millions of annual visitors.

Inside the temple, a large cave houses 30-foot-long sculptures depicting three forms of Narasimha: Jwala, Gandabhiranda, and Yogananda.
