More about Sri kshetra zarni narsimha temple

Jharani Narasimha Swamy Temple, Malkapur Road, Bidar.
It is also known as Narasimha Zarna Cave Temple. The famous cave temple enshrines the powerful deity Lord Narasimha on the wall at the end of a cave,and it is an architectural wonder. It is believed that the shrine at Narasimha Jheera Cave Temple is a swayambu (self-manifested) roopam. A perennial stream of water is said to be flowing continuously for hundreds of years in this place. It is a thrilling experience to walk through waist deep water for 300 meters through a cave-like tunnel, to seek a view of Lord Narasimha. It is one of the main attractions of Bidar.
The legend goes that, Lord Narasimha after killing Hiranyakashpu, proceeded to kill a demon named Jalasura. Jalasura was a staunch devotee of Lord Shiva. After he was killed by Lord Narasimha, Jalasura turns into water starts flowing from Lord's feet. And to this day water keeps flowing from lord’s feet and fills the cave.
So, to reach the lord we will have to wade through a 300 feet long cave, with water about 4 feet deep. There is a water fountain outside the temple, in which people bath before entering the cave. At the end of the cave we have Lord Narasimha and also the Shiva linga which Jalasura was worshiping.
The idol of Lord Narasimha is situated in a cave. One has to wade through the water up to chest level to have darshan of the deity. It’s a thrilling experience. Since water is not crystal clear, we cannot see the ground. Also, there is lot of bats hanging on ceiling But, none of them does any harm! We have to wade through the water for 350 meters.
It is the great holy place to visit in life
