YADAGIRI

Then, turning to the left, we enter a big hall where generally all devotees sit. Again, on the left side, there is the temple proper. The front pillar of the temple is a constructed sculpture whereas the rear pillars where the actual shrine of the God is situated, viz., the Garbha Gudi, is a natural cave of about 30 ft. length and 12 ft. width cut into a hill. The cave is formed under a huge rock, which forms a sloping roof into a height of just 5-ft in the middle for the passage inside. While going through this constricted passage one has necessarily to lower his head slightly. Thus the very natural formation of the cave itself makes one bow involuntarily to the Lord.
