Kadiri Lakshmi Narasimha Temple: Rooms & Booking

Key Information at a Glance

About the Kadiri Narasimha Temple & Pilgrim Stay

The Sreemath Kadiri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy temple stands in Kadiri town in the Sri Sathya Sai district of Andhra Pradesh. It is dedicated to Lord Narasimha, the fierce yet protective incarnation of Vishnu, worshipped here along with Goddess Lakshmi. The temple draws a steady flow of pilgrims through the year, and the crowds swell during the annual Brahmotsavams, when many visitors look for a night or two of accommodation close to the shrine.

To serve these pilgrims, the Devasthanam maintains its own rooms and cottages in and around the temple premises — including simpler non-AC rooms with attached bathrooms and air-conditioned cottages in dedicated blocks. Because this is temple-run accommodation meant for genuine devotees, the administration sets its own house rules. In particular, rooms are generally not allotted for single occupancy, and the temple expects occupants to be families or related groups. These are basic pilgrim lodgings rather than hotels, so set your expectations accordingly and treat them as a convenient base for darshan.

Rooms & Indicative Tariff

The Devasthanam has operated accommodation across more than one block, typically a set of rooms within the temple cottages and a separate sadan/guest-house block. The figures below are indicative ranges reported for Kadiri pilgrim accommodation and are meant only to give you a rough idea of what to budget. The number of rooms, exact categories and prices are decided by the temple and do change over time.

Please confirm at the temple: the room categories that are actually available on your dates, the exact tariff, the maximum number of occupants per room, the check-in/check-out timing (usually counted as a 24-hour stay) and any deposit. The temple may also restrict allotment to families and related groups. Treat every figure here as indicative and verify it directly with the Devasthanam before you plan your trip.

How to Book a Room Officially

Kadiri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy temple is administered under the Andhra Pradesh Endowments Department, and its temple page is hosted on the department’s portal at tms.ap.gov.in. For accommodation specifically, the Devasthanam has historically handled bookings at the temple office counter rather than through a separate online room-booking system. The most dependable way to secure a room is therefore:

• At the temple office: Visit or contact the Devasthanam office at Kadiri and request a room on arrival or shortly before your visit, subject to availability. Carry a valid photo ID for every adult.
• Official AP Endowments portal: Check the temple’s page on tms.ap.gov.in for any current online services and the official notice board details before you assume a room is reserved.
• Confirm the rules first: Ask about single-occupancy restrictions, ID requirements and family/group conditions so there are no surprises at check-in.

To stay safe, use only the official temple counter or the AP Endowments portal, and never share card, OTP or net-banking details with third-party agents claiming to book Kadiri rooms. The AP Endowments Department itself states that it does not authorise agents or third parties for online bookings. We do not publish phone numbers here because contact details change — please take them from the official temple notice board or the AP Endowments portal.

How to Reach Kadiri

Kadiri is well connected by road and rail. The Kadiri railway station is the nearest railhead, only about 2 km from the temple, and the town’s RTC bus stand is within a kilometre or two as well — a short auto-rickshaw ride to the shrine. APSRTC and private buses run frequently from Anantapur, Puttaparthi, Bengaluru and Hyderabad. The nearest major airport is Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru, roughly 145–150 km away, from where you can continue by taxi or bus toward Kadiri.

For darshan, the temple is generally open in the morning and again in the evening, with a midday break; an indicative pattern is around 6:30 AM to 12:30 PM and 4:30 PM to 8:30 PM, though ritual openings and festival days differ. If you are timing your stay around a particular seva, abhishekam or the Brahmotsavams, check the current schedule locally so your room booking and darshan plans line up.
