Srikonda Singarakonda Devasthanam
The Divine Abode of Nava Narasimhas
In Prakasam District, Kurichedu Mandal, about 10 kilometers from Kurichedu, at the junction of the villages Bayyavaram, Peddavaram, and Devanakonda, stands the sacred hill shrine.
To the east, Lord Sri Sri Sri Subrahmanya Swamy, along with Valli and Devasena, protects the region as the Kshetrapalaka (guardian deity).
To the west, Sri Sri Sri Veera Anjaneya Swamy stands as the supreme commander and protector.
To the north, Ganga Amma Thalli shines in her divine form of Shakti.
With these three divine deities and their sub-shrines, this sacred place has been flourishing for centuries. At the peak of this majestic hill resides the self-manifested (Swayambhu) deity, Sri Sri Sri Yogananda Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy, radiating divine grace.
This sacred hill is revered as “Sri Konda Singarakonda.”
Every year in this sacred temple, the Tirunalla Mahotsavam (annual festival) is traditionally celebrated on the auspicious day of Phalguna Shuddha Dashami. However, apart from this festival day, daily rituals such as Dhupa, Deepa, and Naivedyam, as well as celebrations on other auspicious occasions, are not regularly conducted.
Goshala (cow shelter) holds a most sacred place in Indian culture and Sanatana Dharma. Considering the mother cow as an embodiment of all deities, serving her is regarded as a great virtuous deed. In our temple’s goshala, cows are protected with love and care, and provided with food, medical treatment, and a safe environment. It is believed that by serving cows, devotees attain the reduction of sins, peace, prosperity, and divine grace.
In this goshala, not only are the cows cared for, but spiritual activities such as cow worship and cow donation are also performed. The milk, panchagavya (five cow products), and other products obtained from cows are used in religious rituals. Devotees can contribute to this dharmic service by participating in cow service.
The cooperation of devotees is essential for the development and management of our goshala. Those who wish to be part of the service to the mother cow can offer their support through donations and service activities. We believe that by the grace of the mother cow, peace, abundance, and righteousness will flourish in society.
Sri Jwala Narasimha Swami is the most divine incarnation among the fierce forms of Bhagavan Sri Mahavishnu. The blazing, wrathful form of Lord Narasimha after the slaying of Hiranyakashipu is regarded as this Jwala Narasimha form. In this form, the Lord shines with fiery flames, protects devotees from evil forces, and appears as the supreme protector who establishes righteousness. It is believed that by His grace, fears, faults, and obstacles are removed, and inner peace and courage are attained. Worshipping Jwala Narasimha Swami with devotion bestows power, victory, and divine grace.
