“After the formation of Telangana state, Geeta, Temple Executive Officer, said, “The government decided to reconstruct the Yadadri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple that lies in Yadagirigutta Temple Development Authority (YTDA).

Construction of the temple began in April 2016 after a reconstruction plan was developed by the YTDA.

“A temporary arrangement was put in place for the deity Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy in another temple in April 2016, and now on March 28, the ‘Maha Kumbha Samprokshana’ festival is scheduled, as part of the reopening of the refurbished temple complex,” she said.

In an interview with anandsai.com, the chief architect of the temple revealed that the temple ground area has been increased from 11 acres to 17 acres. There is the no bigger temple in the world made entirely of stone.”

It is the largest in the world.

The main attraction of the temple is Prahlada Charithra, the sculpture that represents the life story of Bhakta Prahlada, from birth to the end of Hiranyakashyapa. Gold is used for the construction of Prahlada Charithra.

A sculptural representation of Lord Narasimha can also be found, as well as his breaking out of the pillar to kill Hiranyakashyapa, followed by tearing apart his chest.

There is also an Addala Mandapa, where each night the Lord is placed on a swing.

The seven ‘gopurams’ of this temple are unique because they are made entirely from stone, from the bottom to the top. The Maharaja Gopuram on the western entrance is 83 feet tall and is made of 13,000 tonnes of black granite; construction took almost two years.

For parking the ‘Ratham’, a concrete shed has been built, and there is also an additional ‘Golla Mandapa’ built outside the temple, apart from the ‘Praakara mandapa’ and other structures.

In addition, Lord Shiva’s temple has been constructed on a hillock.
In addition to the main temple, as one steps out of the main temple, devotees can also see the 58 pillars of the ‘first Praakara’, a sculpture of Narasimha with the face of a lion, the body of a horse supported by an elephant. These pillars have each been carved from a single black granite stone.

Among the most notable features of the temple is the 11-foot tall garbhalaya door, inlaid with golden Nava Narasimha Swami paintings. It leads devotees into the sanctum sanctorum.

There are 12 Alwar statues inside the temple representing the Kakatiyan style of architecture. These are located around the Mukha Mandapa and lead down to the sanctum sanctorum, which is located 18 feet below ground level.

This temple is quite spacious, as it can accommodate 10,000 devotees at a time. A bathing area has been constructed for devotees to take a holy bath.

During the past five-and-a-half years, the temple has been completely rebuilt at an estimated cost of Rs 1,280 crore, and more than 2,000 sculptors and thousands of workers have been involved in the reconstruction.

Officials have made elaborate arrangements to conduct the Maha Kumbha Samprokshana this Monday. To cope with the large number of devotees expected to arrive on Monday, a variety of arrangements are being made.
On top of the hill, temple management has set up an automated and mechanized prasadam production facility.

It is also learnt that those visiting Yadadri’s temple can gain unlimited access to the temple’s laddu, pulihora and vada prasadam.
