Bhuvanagiri gutta (Bhuvanagiripalle) is a hilltop located very close to Rajampet town, hardly it is around 8 km from the town. Lord Lakshmi narasimha swamy will be seen in this famous area. Every Saturday special poojas are doing here for the Lord Narasimha swamy.
The history behind the temple construction is, more than 300 years ago a saint saw the footprints of Sri Lakshmi Narasimha swamy under the neem tree, and the saint used to offer prayers daily to the footprints and the saint told to nearby villagers to pray to the footprint of Lord Narasimha to fulfill their desires. Eventually, it has spread in and around and the temple got the good recognition from the devotees, whoever prays here their desires are getting full filled.
In the month of May (particularly in summer season) annual Bramhosthavas are also going in a grand manner under the temple trust. The nearby villages such a Uttukur and Bhuvanagiripalle people are very commonly visiting the temple by trekking the hill. Another most important are temple priests performs special abhishekam and archana on Vaisakha suddha pournimaa and also Garudaseva on that date. Temple authorities and trustees organizes aanadhanam on the bramhostavam days.
