Sri Panakala Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy, Mangalagiri , Guntur Dt, AP

Panakala Narasimha Swamy – God Who Drinks Panakam offered by devoted bhaktas

It is said that here, Lord is self-existent (swayambhu) . A tall Dwajasthambam (erected in the year 1955) is found in front of the temple. Unlike in many temples, you cannot find archa vigraham of the Lord except a wide mouth (of the Lord) opening which is about 15cms in height. This is covered with a metal face of the God to give the devotees a clear picture of the Lord.




This is the top hill view of the Narasimha Swamy temple. At the foot of the Mangalagiri hills, there is another prominent temple dedicated to Lord Lakshmi Narasimha Swami with is said to be worshipped by Dharmaraja, the eldest of pandava. The very sight of the beautiful temple with lofty gopuram that can be seen from a far distance is the focal point of this temple.
