Yaganti Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, offers a profoundly peaceful and soulful experience. The serene ambiance creates an ideal environment for spiritual contemplation, and the presence of water ponds adds to the overall tranquility.

One of many Nandyal Sivan Temple with Tank filled with natural spa spring water from mountain through Nandhi. Devotees have nice and refreshing natural water bath and swim.

One must visit this historical place. One of the lord Shiva temples around Nandyala. Temple's pond is very beautiful, entire place is scenic and pleasant. Darshan is mentioned as free in Google, but it's not. Darshan prices start from 10/-
Year:November 2023 Temple: 1. Ancient Hindu Temple of significant history 2. Surrounded by Rocks and Mountains with no water body near by. 3. Recently Jagan govt has introduced Tickets (10Rs per person). Sparsh darshan ticket is costly (not sure of price) 4. Growing Nandi is there. Read stories about it before visiting. 4. For now, you can carry your phone but can't click pictures inside Garbhgriha. Prasadam: 1. They sell laddus at ticket counter 2. Anna Prasadam was available earlier (2018 visit). Couldn't have time time as we visited in morning. It's next parking on the right side. Facilities: 1. Connecting road shown in Google map to Kurnool is in very poor condition for 15-17 Km. It's like off roading. Don't take that route in rainy season or going on big vehicles. 2. It's an isolated place . So, don't expect great food or accommodation. Plan accordingly. Prefer Temple Prasadam. 3. Temple area is clean. Observed small improvement in last 5 years. 4. Multiple new roads are being built. Expect better connectivity in next 5 years.
One time visit. The temple opens at 1500hrs, so plan accordingly. It contains one main temple and 3 small temples present in the caves as shown in the photos. The temple is good and well maintained. You can have prasad ladoo(2) at 15/-. Adult ticket Entry: 10/- per person. Parking is free and the toilet is for ladies only. The caves have very steep stairs and the caves are not having that much depth. It will be around 20 feet in length inside the cave. One more thing, once u reach here u will find a road on the hills behind the temple, so that road also leads to a temple which is around 12-15km (shop guy told).
Excellent devasthanam. Hats off to the builders of 15th century. Good vibes in and around. Everyone must visit this holy place. Fresh theertham flows down from the hill. Panoramic view of this landscape is awesome. Uma Maheswara sankalpa deity. Sivalingam been worshipped by Sage Agastya. I am speechless about it's serene nature n construction. Monkeys are also there. 120 steps to the cave deity.
15th Century temple built by King Harihara Bukka Raya of the Sangama Dynasty of Vijayanagara Empire. Beautiful rock formation caves has Agastya Cave where Agastya performed his penance for Siva. Venkateswara Cave, where lord Venkateswara idol stand tall. This Venkateswara idol is present in this cave before the Tirumala Venkateswara Temple was constructed. As the ideal is damaged near the foot, it could not be worshipped. Many people say that this place can stand as an alternative to Tirupati. Yaganti is in the Nandyal Dist in AP and sox 100 km from Kurnool. A must visit site.
A Wonderful temple in between the hills with greenery and koneru which will be visual wonder for nature lovers. Vehicle fee need to be paid before entering the temple area and parking is available inside. Small temples will be there for which we need
