Antarvedi - Laxmi Narasimha Swamy temple
Antarvedi is famous for the Laxmi Narasimha Swamy temple constructed between the 15th and 16th centuries. There is also a temple of Lord Siva that is older than Narasimha Swamy temple. The temple's idol of Lord Siva was installed by Lord Srirama.
In the 18th century, Peddapuram Rajas were the trustees and were responsible for developing the temple. Mogaltur Raja's are the traditional trustees of Antarvedi Temple, with this duty beginning in the 19th century. Late Shri Raja Kalidindi Kumar Ramachandra Raja Bahaduralso contributed a lot to the temple. He was the former chairman of temple development and the hierarchical trustee of temple.
The lord and temple was gifted along with many priceless jewels from past kings, nobles and even the East India Company. These jewels have been stored in a vault at the treasury department for the last 50 -- 60 years. Through the great efforts and contributions of local M.L.A. Sri Alluri Krishnam Raju and the temple authorities, the age old jewelry of the god is being brought to Antarvedi and the idols of the Lord are being decorated during the Kalyanotsavam.
