Now
walk up to the Sannidhi the flight of 375 steps to avail the darsan
of many more adorable gods and enjoy the spectacles of the
surrounding colourful panorama. The entrance of the pathway called
Vaikuntadwaram is so elegantly built and neatly maintained that it
awakens bhakti instincts at its very sight. There is Panchamukha
Anjaneyaswamy shrine at the Simhadwara of the temple atop. And there
is a cave under this shrine where Lord Narasimha appeared in his
Gandabherunda form to his devotee. Going a little further down, we
enter mukhamandap of the Principal shrine. The garbhagriha measures
30 x 12 feet, yet devotees have to move bending heads since it is a
cave temple. Here stands the incons of Jwala Narasimha and Yogananda
Narasimha, but they are not distinctly visible, and so silver images
of Sri Lakshmi Narasimha are kept for offering prayer
services.
