    Penchalakona is a very devotional place with beautiful hills around. Well . This temple is very famous for narasimha swamy and it is famous for waterfalls from mountain rocks during rainy season. In this place well maintained rooms with good ambience. Should experience the water fall from top of the hills.

    Punsusila Laxmi Narasimha Swamy temple is situated at foot of the Penchalakona Vally which is located in PenchalakonaVillage of Rapur Mandal in Nellore district. Lord Narasimha here is Swayambu swamy who is here since Kruta yugam. This is 30 km from Rapur, 70 km from Nellore and 85 km from Razampet. Nellore is best convinent to reach here. History of the Temple: Penchalakona temple is one of the Nava Narasimha temples which all are located with in Andhra and Telangana states. List is as follows, 1. Ahobilam - Kurnool 2. Penchalakona - Nellore 3. Kadiri - Anantapuram 4. Simhachalam - Vizag 5. Antarvedi - East Godavari 6. Mangalagiri - Guntur 7. Vedadri - Krishna 8. Yadadri - Bhuvanagiri Yadadri 9. Darmapuri - Karimnagar Lord Narasimha even after killing Hiranya Kasyapa, he could not control his anger and he came to the forest. To cool him down, Goddess Laxmi approached him in the form of a tribal lady named Chenchu Laxmi and hugged lord at this place. The Hug is telugu is called as "Penu Vesukonuta". Hence this place is called as Penusila and later changed as Penchalakona. It is said that Lord married Chenchu Laxmi and manifested himself as huge rock. The Annual festival of the temple brahmostavam starts on Vishaka Shudda ekadaashi during the month of APR and May, which is a Major festival at Penchalakona and is celebrated over 5 days every year. Temple Timings: Morning 06:30 - 12:30 Evening 03:00 - 07:30

    My visit to the Penchalakona Temple left me in awe of the sheer beauty and serenity that this divine place holds. Situated amidst the breathtaking beauty of nature and surrounded by dense forests, This temple offers a truly unique and spiritually enriching experience. The journey to reach the temple through the lush greenery and serene surroundings. The tranquility of the forests set the perfect stage for a deeply introspective visit. A visit to the Penchalakona Temple is like a pilgrimage to the heart of nature's splendor and divine grace

    Lord Vishnu came to earth to save bhakta prahallada at this place. There is narasimha Swami temple and lakhmidevi and Hanuman temple. Near ammavari temple there is big Banyan tree. No need to purchase dharsan tickets. Bus facility is also there. There is room facility and small food stalls ,annadhana satram also. Weekend there is Swami vaari uregimpu is also there . Only thing for clothes changing rooms and toilet are free of charge but workers demands money. Koneru is very pleasant and in rainy season don't miss the waterfall

    Temple was located in very peaceful Environment and the History of The Mulavirat which was found over here is very vulnerable. Not so Crowded in Normal days except Saturday, I've been visited this place several times worshipping the Narasimha Swamy was really blessing for me. Mobile Network would be poor but it was ok.

    Very nice place. Had a pleasant time. Annadanam was really good. Very helpful for devotees during afternoon. Annadanam is available only till 2:30PM. There are no other hotels for food close to temple. Darshanam was nice. Some times you can enjoy waterfalls also here. May be in October you can visit to play in water. Car parking is close to Temple.

    Sri PenuSila Laxmi narasimha swamy temple located in Rapur mandal Nellore district which is 60 km.away from nellore , a mythologically significant and notoriously called PENCHALAKONA , 9 th of Nava narasimha temples .. Bus facility is good .. rooms are available to stay .. due to covid better plan accordingly .. Devotionally vibrant with full of positive vibrations and the swamy is SWAYAMBU formed by intertwined rocks ( penu means twisted ) with appearance of lion head & human body .. good greenary around with peaceful cool climate with natures lovely breezy atmosphere in rainy season .. Waterfall located approx 1km away from temple and source of origin of kandleru river ... Best auspecious time is vishaka suddah dwadasi n then next 5 days .. this is the practice that is restricted to nellore & some parts of ysr kadapa ..

  • 5/5 Ramesh C. 3 years ago on Google
    It's like mini Tirumala in Nellore District. Must visit place for whose want to spend Devotional time with nature. And for some adventurers also must visit place. I used to go once in a year. From Nellore it will 75km approx. If you visit with your personal vehicle definitely it will be your best memories. Best time to visit is rainy season like NOV-DEC. Happy travelling!!!
