Continuing from last time… The hotel was providing complimentary breakfast from 8 to 9am. So, we thought we will visit the famous Kanaka Durga temple before breakfast and then continue with the rest of the journey. Reached the temple by 730am. Had a nice darshan. Since there was a crowd there, enquired about quick-darshan options. They had Rs 100, Rs 300 and Rs 500 option. Expected wait time being 30mintes, 5 minutes and 0 minutes. Opted for Rs 300 tickets for the three of us 😊 ! There was no waiting time and we were able to get a good darshan. Paying extra Rs 200 per head would have just kept us some 5-6 feet nearer to the deity 😊 ! Reached hotel by 815am, had breakfast, checked-out of the hotel and then headed to the final Narasimhar temple in our itinerary – Mangalagiri (Panakala Narasimhar Swamy) temple, which was about 20-25 minutes away. Sri Mangala Giri Narasimha is located in Vijayawada in Andra Pradesh. The Lakshmi Narasimha at the foot hills is called Bhog
