Vedadri Narasimha Temple, Hindu temple in Vedadri, Andhra Pradesh, India.
Vedadri Narasimha Temple sits on a hillside beside the Krishna River and displays traditional South Indian architecture with elaborate stone carvings throughout. The sanctuary contains several sections with detailed sculptures and relief work that tell religious stories across its walls and pillars.
The temple was originally established to promote the worship of Narasimha and grew into an important pilgrimage site over centuries. During the 1800s, Raja Vasireddy Muktiswara Prasad Nayudu undertook major improvements including construction of a monumental stone stairway connecting the hill to the riverside.
The shrine honors Narasimha, a form of the Hindu god Vishnu that holds deep religious meaning for local worshippers and pilgrims. People visit throughout the year to participate in ceremonies and seek blessings, making it a living center of spiritual practice.
The temple welcomes visitors daily with free entry during morning, afternoon, and evening hours. Wear comfortable shoes as the hillside location and temple grounds require walking and climbing to explore all areas.
The shrine houses five distinct forms of Narasimha: Vira, Salagrama, Jwala, Lakshmi, and Yoga, together creating a special sacred site. This arrangement of five forms draws devotees who seek the spiritual power associated with this particular temple configuration.
