About

The Yaganti Uma Maheshwara Temple is a cave temple dedicated to Ardhanarishwara (half-Shiva, half-Parvati), situated in the limestone hills of Kurnool. A unique geological phenomenon is the 'growing' Nandi bull in the courtyard — geologists confirm the rock-cut statue is slowly growing in size due to mineral deposition, feeding local lore of a self-manifesting sacred form.
