In the Kadiri temple, the self-incarnated Lord Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy is also called Swayambhu, which emerged from the Khadri tree’s roots. Here, he appears to be Ashta Bahu Narasimha, who has eight hands, ripping Hiranyakasipu. Prahlada may be seen standing next to him, her hands folded.

According to the local tradition, the presiding deity, Narasimhaswami, in His magnificent appearance, “Vugrarupa,” decided to reside here after slaying Hiranyakasipu. This hallowed temple has legendary significance that stretches back to Trethayuga.

Sri Narasimha Swamy appears as a person with a lion’s head, dressed in silver armor adorned with silver eyes, moustaches, and shoulder blades, and positioned to carry Hiranyakasipu’s stomach. The metal figure of Vishnu, flanked by Sridevi and Bhudevi, represents the deity on procession. The Paschima Chalakya Dynasty’s rulers actually put Durgadevi behind a magnificent mandapam made of curved stone pillars, and in 1953, Lakshmi Devi Vigraham was also housed in the temple. According to the directives of Lord Narasimha Swamy Varu, the Lord Idol was housed, and the Vijaya Nagara Rulers built mandapams that were excellently curved on stones to the southern side of Ammavari Temple.
