The Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy temple is experiencing unprecedented growth, with its income projected to reach ₹243 crore in the 2025-26 fiscal year. This landmark figure positions it as the sole temple in the state to achieve gross earnings exceeding ₹200 crore.
Recent years show a consistent upward trend: ₹224 crore in 2023-24 and ₹212 crore in 2024-25. Temple officials attribute this boom to enhanced amenities and active devotee participation in sevas, drawing approximately 25,000 visitors daily, with weekend crowds reaching 50,000.
A significant transformation occurred about 12 years ago, boosting annual visitor numbers from 8.6 million in 2014 to 10.2 million. This surge in devotion has also led to substantial financial growth, with annual income climbing from ₹61 crore in 2014 to ₹169 crore between March 2022 and March 2023.
