But on your wish i would like to ask onething hundreds of the peoples suffering with lack of knowledge about "moksham".If anybody chants your name they will get good health and wealth.So please create a holly pilligramage to make peoples as good humanbeings".

Lord Vishnu accepted her wish and asks vanamala who is their favorite devotee to be a hill.She changed herself as a hill name is Malyadri and lord vishnu and godess lakshmi start living on Malyadri.Here we can visit lord vishnu as jwala Narasimha.

The temple opens on weekly once for satur day because once upon a time lord Brahma visits regularly malyadri narasimha.One day a king name is Banumanudu visits malyadri but at thattime no one was there.Lord brahma had just completed his worship and gone.

An Idol of Lord Jwala NarasimhaI took photographs of total temple,but cameras are risricted in Temple.That's why i could not take photographs of Idols.I have been visiting this temple so that i designed photographs as it is myself.You can watch above photo of Jwala Narasimha.
Later we buy sacred sweets at temples stall.Then we went to Sri Lakshmi's Temple.Below the narrow way towards Lakshmi Temple.If i might have put lot of wait?

thank you for the information......where can we stay?are there any good hotels?
Nice.. It's been almost 7 years that i didn't go that temple. In childhood days, I use to go there every summer vacation. All those memories still float at the back of my mind.
My grandfather had founded one of the steps to the temple and had donated some money way back in 1950's when my dad was a small child. Still remember the shiv temple and the monkeys who roam all around that temple, ready to snatch any eatable in your hand :-) . But the peace you get while sitting there is really awesome. I hope I do visit this place again in near future with my kids.
yes.such a great temple wonderful climate,natural things and forest.the way of root also excellent
