With all the changes that were made for more space around the temple, gives more spacious look and some breathing space. Only wish that the temple administration had some prominent place for kumkum. It is really painful to see people in western dresses for a place of workship. Should have a rule for traditional attire getting preference.

Lovely place. The temple is itself an example of a great architecture. If there is no rush then you can enjoy the temple from inside else it's little difficult. Overall peace place.

A beautiful temple dedicated to Lord Narsimha which is situated at the hilltop. It's pretty easily accessible both by public and private transportation! Make sure you buy the 100rs ticket in order to skip the long que and enter into the temple premises in a much faster and better way. Once you're out the samosas are something which are a must try!

Devine and holy place for pilgrims. Very much organised and well maintained locality. The queue line is controlled by temple staff and all are polite. The temple is crowded on Saturdays and on festival days. Remaining days it's a normal flow of devotees. Free dharshan takes hours together to walk through the temple and there are special queue lines with additional fee of Rs. 100/- and Rs. 300/-.
Parking space is available but it's a paid parking. No need to purchase coconut or garland. Those are not taking in the temple.
Be aware of local vendors, they make you buy all the things which are not allowed into the temple.
