Andhra's second most visited temple (after Tirumala) is a 16km drive northwest of town. Large but tranquil and orderly, it's dedicated to Varahalakshmi Narasimha, a combination of Vishnu's boar and lion-man avatars. A ₹100 ticket will get you to the deity (and a sip of holy water) much quicker than a ₹20 one. Buses 6A and 28 go here from the RTC Complex and train station.
The temple's architecture bears much Odishan influence, including the 13th-century main shrine with its carved stone panels (the lion-man can be seen disembowelling a demon on the rear wall).
