Temple Legend
According to the Skanda Purana, Yada, the son of the sage Rishyasringa performed penance here to the god Narasimha. Being pleased with his penance, Narasimha manifested himself in five forms: Jvala Narasimha, Gandabherunda Narasimha, Yogananda Narasimha, Ugra Narasimha, and Lakshmi Narasimha. Yada requested Narasimha to remain on the hill in these forms. For this reason, the temple has deities of Narasimha in all five forms enshrined in stone in the main cave. Historically, the temple has followed the Tenkalai tradition of the Vaishnava Agama Shastras as followed in South India.

Why this record matters
“Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple, Yadagirigutta” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Lakshmi, Narasimha and Swamy provides the most credible route into that argument.
Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q8046503. The first chronological checks are 2016 and 2022.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
