At a distance of 66 km from Hyderabad, 85 km from Nalgonda & 91 km from Warangal, Yadagiri Gutta is a popular pilgrimage town in Nalgonda district in the state of Telangana situated close to Warangal highway. It is famous for Yadagirigutta Temple, abode of Narasimha Swamy, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu.

This cave temple is situated at an altitude of 300 feet on a large hillock. Yadagirigutta was earlier known as Vedagiri because it is believed that Lord Vishnu kept all the Vedas at this sacred place. This is one of the top Places to visit in Telangana and also one of the popular one day trip from Hyderabad. The official name of this place was recently changed to Yadadri by Telangana government.

Bus facility is easily available to reach this city and devotees should know about yadagirigutta temple timings in advance on order to have a smooth darshan.

This temple has five forms of Narasimha. According to the legend, Sri Yadava Maharishi son of Sri Rushyashrunga Maharishi had performed great penance for Lord Narasimha Swamy. Impressed with his penance, Lord Narasimha appeared before the sage and took five Avatars known as Jwala Narasimha, Yogananda Narasimha, Ugra Narasimha, Gandaberunda Narasimha and Lakshmi Narasimha. They later manifested themselves into finely sculpted forms that later came to be worshiped as Pancha Narasimha Kshetram.

In the sanctum of this hill temple Jwala Narasimha, Gandaberunda Narasimha (without an image) and Yoga Narasimha are held in worship, in addition to a silver image of Lakshmi Narasimha and a shrine to Aandaalamma. The top of innermost sanctum of the temple has a golden Sudarshana Chakra of Lord Vishnu. The adornment is about 3 feet by 3 feet in dimension and it is the symbol by which the temple is identified by from a distance. A legend about the chakra says that many years ago, it moved in the direction from which the devotees came, very much like a compass that guided them to the temple.
