Cheeryal Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple

Cheeryal Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple dedicated to Lord Narasimha Swamy is located in Cheeryala village of Keesara Mandal around 30 kms from Hyderabad and 10 kms from ECIL X Roads. It is 5 kms from Keesaragutta. It is located amidst the fields and there is a lake opposite the temple. Mallaram Eshwarayya who was a big devotee of Lord Narasimha had a vision of Lord Narasimha who asked him to go to Yadagirigutta and worship him there. He brought a picture of Yadagirigutta Narasimha Swamy and kept it in his pooja room. Later, his son Mallaram Lakshminarayana got Lord Narasimha idol made and kept it in his pooja room. He then chose his fields to build the temple and did Pranapratishta in May 2008.

It has idols of Lord Narasimha Swamy along with Lakshmi in the center and Ganesha and Hanuman(carrying the Sanjeevani Parvat) on either sides and then Hanuman idols on the two ends. The middle pillar has Garuda idol and the other two have Jaya and Vijaya idols.
