Why to visit Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple
The temple's principal deity, Lord Narasimha, is shown sitting in the yogic pose known as Pad asana, with his palms resting on his knees. Lakshmi, the goddess, is with him. Such a yogic position is regarded as a unique manifestation of the Lord.
God and goddess sculptures can be found all over the temple grounds. It's also worthwhile to see the eight Hanuman statues, the six-foot-tall statue of Lord Brahma, as well as the statues of Lord Yama, Lord Krishna, and Lord Balaam.
There is a temple dedicated to Naga Devatha on the way to the Narasimha shrine. It was constructed on a snake model. The shrine's entrance is through the long, serpentine tunnel in the belly of the snake. There are monuments that tell the tale of Hiranyakasipu and Prahalada.
The idol was cut out of the rock that the temple was constructed around. From the bottom, closest to the parking lot, tourists must ascend a few hundred steps to reach the top. The rather steep ascent could take up to 15 minutes.
On the route between Vemulawada and Karimnagar, the shrine is tucked away on a little hillside. This beautiful shrine honouring Lord Vishnu's avatar Lord Lakshmi Narasimha is located there.
History of the Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple :-
The Mughals had conquered the temple and turned it into a mosque. With the help of Aurangzeb, the then-Sultan of Delhi, the former Pata Narasimha Swamy Temple had been transformed into a mosque by the Subedar of Hyderabad, Rustumdil Khan.
However, it was built once more in 1448 and turned into a temple. The temple is also known as Kottha Narasimha Swamy temple in another variation.
