Also on Yadagiri hill is a temple dedicated to worship of Lord Shiva. There is also a gap in the rock representing Ghandabheranda Narasimha. On the foothill there is Vaikuntha Dwara entrance, which features a shrine to Sri Hanuman. It is said that the sacred Vedas took the form this hill so as to bear upon its head the Yogananda Narasimhaswamy. The temple is at a height of 300 feet on Yadagiri hill.
In His form of Yoga Narasimha, it is understood that the Lord grants healing, both physical and of spiritual benefit, to His sincere aspirants. The Jwala Narasimha resembles a serpent, while the Yoga Narasimha image is Lord Narasimha’s Form in meditation. Two rock formations in the sanctum wall are revered as Jwala Narasimha and Yoga Narasimha respectively. Jwala Narasimha (the Lord of flame), Ghandabheranda Narasimha (without an image) and Yoga Narasimha are all worshipped here, in addition to a silver Deity of Lakshmi-Narasimha and a shrine to Aandaalamma. The sanctum is a natural cave on the Yadagiri hill. (The “gutta” seems to have been a latter-day suffix.) Being reputed as a place of worship for the sages, Yadagirigutta is also known as Rushi Aradhana Kshetram. Because the sage Yadarishi is said to have been granted his wish to see the Lord here, the place became known by the name Yadagiri (giri means hill in Sanskrit, and gutta, which means hillock in Telugu. Another of Andhra Pradesh’s famous temple abodes of Lord Narasimhadev is found in the Nalgonda region, in the town of Yadagirigutta, 70 kms from Hyderabad.
