DHARMAPURI |
|
|
| There is another
temple called Nutana Narasimhaswamy temple. This is also very near to the main
Narasimhaswamy temple. It is stated that a Brahmin of the village found this idol in some
cave at a place, about 20 miles from this village and brought it here and consecrated it.
This temple is also a powerful one and is extremely popular with the pilgrims. The third
temple of Dharmapuri is the Gomateswara temple, which is a Siva temple and is said to have
been consecrated by Gowtama Rishi while bringing Godavari to this Kshetram. There are
finally one Dattatreya temple and one Rama temple on the banks of Godavari, which are said
to be of later origin. There is no mention of these two, in the Puranas. |
