Legend says that Narasimha appeared here before Yada Rishi in five different forms as Sri Jwala Narsimha, Sri Yogananda, Sri Ugra Narasimha, Sri Gandaberunda and Sri Laksmi Narasimha.
First he appeared as Jwala Narasimha but Rishi was unable to bear the intensity of this form.
So Narasimha appeared in a peaceful form as Yoga Narasimha. Yada Rishi desired to see him with his consort. Hence, he appeared with Lakshmi on his lap as Lakshmi Narasimha.
Yada Rishi was also granted a boon whereby the hill would be known after his name as Yadagiri.
Jwala Narasimha appears like Serpent, Yoga Narasimha is in meditative posture. Ghandabheranda is formless and acknowledged in the form of a lamp that burns continuously.
Ugra Narasimha is in the form of cave entrance.
Lakshmi Narasimha murti represents Kalyana and Vaidya form.
