To worship Swayambu Narasimhar, the devotees have to reach the hill temple through 285 steps.  There is a stone carved idol of Sri Anjaneya in the hill temple.  Women expecting marriage tie a yellow thread in the tree here.  Those seeking child boon tie cradles.  There are Nagar idols also here.  People can also have a river view from the hill top.  Safety steps are built for bathing in the river.

Uyyala in Telugu means cradle.  Realizing their child boon, devotees place Lord Narasimha and Mother Chenchu Lakshmi in cradle and swing it back and forth.

Though a Vishnu temple, there is a shrine for Lord Shiva too here.   Lord Shiva is praised as Sri Visweswara Swami and Mother as Parvathi Ammavaru.  During festival time, they come in procession in a small rath.  There is Nandhi too in Shiva shrine.  There is also a shrine for Veerabadraswami.  Sacred ash Prasad is not offered in the temple.  Instead, Theertham Prasad is offered and Jadari embossed with Shiva Feet is placed on devotees’ heads.

A woman devotee came to the temple seeking remedy for her acute stomach pain.  Doctors had no hopes of her recovery despite a surgery.  She and her family prayed to Lord Narasimha.  She survived after the surgery.  They believed that Lord Vedatri Natha Himself performed the surgery in the form of the surgeon.  Till now, she is visiting the temple.  The knife, she left at the feet of Lord as her Kanikka, is still in the shrine.  It is worth recalling the advice of Sage Veda Vyasa that faith in Lord Narasimha would protect the devotees from any threatening situation in this Kaliyuga.  The devotee worshipping Lord Narasimha will attain salvation.  The present temple was built by Reddy kings 900 years ago.  Inspired poets Erra Pragata and Kavi Sarvabouma Sreenatha Vyakya Kara Narayana Theerthalu had sung the glory of Lord Narasimha.  There are mentions in the holy books about this Narasimha such as Stotra Dandaka, Kasi Kandam etc.
