Urukunda is a small village in Andhra Pradesh and its close to the Temple town of Mantralayam.  A single road leads us to the Urukunda Temple from Mantralayam.  The Main Deity is Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu.  In the Sanctum a Silver Idol of Sage  Eeranna Swamy or Veeranna Swamy is found along with the Main Deity.  Behind the Main Deity a Peepal Tree which is also called as Ashwath Narayan Tree is found growing rampantly. The area above the Tree is left uncover without any roofing.
