Religious Significance

In Tretayugam, there lived a sage by the name of Vemulakonda gutta, son of the great sage Rishyasrunga and Santa Devi who did penance inside a cave with the blessings of Anjaneya on this hill Mastyagiri Laxmi Narsimha Swamy. Pleased with his deep devotion, Lord Narasimha an incarnation of Lord Vishnu appeared before him in five different forms as Mastya giri Laxmi Narsimha Swamy and Lakshminarasimha. They later manifested themselves into finely sculpted forms that later came to be worshipped as Vemulakonda gutta. As Narasimha Swamy to see these three forms one has to go through an entrance that narrows itself into a dark cave. Interestingly, the cave is formed under a huge rock which forms a sloping roof into a height of just 5-ft in the middle for the passage inside. While going through this constricted passage one has to necessarily lower the head slightly. Thus the very natural formation of the cave itself makes one bow involuntarily to the Lord.
