One is   Yoga Narasimha temple on the top of the hill and Bhoga Narasimha temple on the base of the hill.

View point from top

The easiest way to reach Devarayana Durga is to travel on the Tumkur highway and deviation you have to take ahead under the flyover

Sunset point

You have to climb around 200 steps from the car parking area, to find the  Yoganarasimha temple, in Chola architectural style. As you climb the steps, you would experience the amazing beauty of nature along with a cool breeze to relax your mind and soul. 

Lake on the way to hill

If you like trekking, step up beyond the temple premises, you would really have some more captivating experience of nature .

Best season would be monsoon and winter where you can witness the beauty of hill at full bloom with clouds keep on coming to touch ur soul.

To be noted

Pack your food from home as there are no good hotels/restaurants around the place,

You would find street vendors selling chats/bananas/cucumber etc around car parking area
