Yadagiri Gutta:


The Yadagiri Gutta is a small hill that is famous for Sri Lakshminarasimha Swamy Temple. The very mention of Yadagiri Gutta is the reference to the temple of lord Narasimha. It is in Nalgonda District in Andhra Pradesh. The temple is a favourite hangout spot for weekends and holidays. It is approximately 60 km away from Hyderabad city bus stand. The lord is also called as Yadagiri, thus the temple is named after Him.
