| On the opposite
rock, there is another image of a figure seated in meditation and this is said to be the
image of Yogananda Narasimha, the third of the manifestations of Lord Vishnu to Yadavas. These rocks form an integral part of the cave, and so there is no possibility
of having any modern structure in between them, without dismantling the natural structure.
As these two images of the Lord are not clearly visible to the worshippers, the icons of
Goddess Laxmi and Narasimha are made in silver and kept near the original Vigraha for
darshan and worship. The superstructure of the temple is based on the huge rock, which
forms the cave. There is at Yadagiri a temple to the left of the front pillar, dedicated
to the Goddess, known as Andalamma temple. |
