Thoorpu Gali Gopuram, main tower is replete with beautiful big images of various gods and goddesses from the Hindu Pantheon. The temple has a tall gopuram (tower) on the eastern side -153ft. Raja Vasireddy Venkatadri Naidu who ruled from Amaravati as his capital 200 years ago (in 1807-1809) built the temple at Mangalagiri. The presiding deity in the temple here at the foot hill is called Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy and is believed to have been installed by Yudhishtira, the eldest of the Pandavas. Both these temples attract lots of people and the temple atop the hill can be accessed by motor vehicles. In the small town of Magalagiri in Guntur district, there are two famous temples dedicated to Vishnu, one near the foot hills and the other being Sri Panakala Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy temple on the near-by hill. Equally famous is the Badrachalam Sri Ramar temple, but it is not a rich one. One of the few richest and popular temples is the one at Thirumala - dedicated to Lord Vishnu. The southern state of Andhra Pradesh has innumerable temples dedicated to Lords Shiva and Vishnu and also to other deities. temple car, v Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy temple, Mangalagiri.
