Kadiri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple

Sri Kadiri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple is located in the town of Kadiri 94KM From Anantapur of AP. The name Kadiri is an alternative name for the Sanskrit word, Khadri, meaning canary wood or Indian mulberry. The town has derived its name from the legend that Sri Narasimha Swamy emerged from a Khadri tree. The Presiding deity in this temple is seen with eight hands and hence is known as Ashtabahu Narasimha. Prahlad is seen standing with folded hands beside the Lord. The amazing fact is that sweat comes out of the sacred idol after Abhishekam is performed. The more the priests wipe it, the more it oozes out of the idol.
