The Lakshmi Narasimha Temple is popularly believed to have been discovered by Yudhishthira, the eldest Pandava brother. [4] The temple's history is said to be recorded in the Brahma Vaivarta Purana, one of the old Hindu religious scriptures. [4] This temple was patronized by the Vijayanagara rulers. There is an inscription from the time of Krishnadevaraya, who had visited the temple, at the temple site. [4] The temple's tall eleven story gali gopuram was built by Rajah Vasireddy Venkatadri Nayudu, the Rajah of Amaravathi and a devotee of Narasimha. [4]
