to 4 p.m in the evening with the belief that devatas attend the temple after sunset and perform pujas. The temple is open from early morning 7 a.m.
In 2004 Ghat road was constructed to reach the temple easily through vehicles. Sri Channapragada Balarama Dasu constructed the steps to the temple in 1890. Siddhiraju Thimmarajayya Devara granted a total of 200 acres of land in 28 villages of which Mangalagiri was one and gift of 40 kunchams by Chinna Thirumalayya to Ramanujakutam. The stone inscription tells a different tale of the kings of Vijayanagar. The metal face of the god covers the mouth.Ī dhwajasthambham was built in front of the temple in 1955. But there is only the mouth, widely opened to 15 cms. Inside the Panakala Narasimha Swamy temple – there is no statue of any god. People have poured Honey in Satyuga, Ghee in Treta Yuga, Milk in Dwapara Yuga and now Panaka in KaliYuga. Hence, the practice of pouring drinks into the Lords’ mouth started. All the Gods tried to subdue the Lord’s anger so in response Narasimha Swamy instructed them to offer drinks through his mouth which is 15cms wide inside the present temple. The Lord realized this and closed the hole thereby suffocating the demon thus killing Namuchi.
He camouflaged as an insect and hid between the rocks. But, the demon Namuchi survived and hid in mangalagiri hills.
Narasimha Swamy, an incarnation of Vishnu tried to kill the NAMUCHI demon with the Sudarshana Chakra. So, Lord Brahma and all other gods sought a solution from Vishnu. Once upon a time, there lived a demon named ‘Namuchi.‘ The demon was famous for torturing people of all lokas. The temple priests tell a story that goes something like this.
