What is the significance of the Yadagirigutta Temple in Hindu mythology?

Yadagirigutta Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple attracts history aficionados and spiritual seekers with its Tretayuga-era heritage. According to folklore, Yadarishi, the son of Rishyasrunga and Santa Devi, entered a cave. He began a strict penance between the Bhongir and Raigiri hills. Five celestial manifestations of Lord Narasimha—Sri Jwala, Sri Yogananda, Sri Gandabherunda, Sri Ugra, and Sri Lakshminarasimha—appeared to Yadarishi.

The Skanda Purana, one of the eighteen Mahapuranas, talks about how the temple came to be. Another story says that Lord Narasimha was happy with Yadarishi's penance and sent Sri Anjaneya (Hanuman) to lead the teacher to a holy place. Lord Narasimha appeared here as Sri Lakshmi Narasimha. This sacred spot, now the Yadagirigutta Temple, is at the base of the Yadagiri hill.
